Scaffolding - Part 1: General requirements
Provides users, manufacturers and designers of scaffolding systems with unified rules for the design and detailing of scaffolding systems using principles of engineering design as detailed in this Standard. It includes specifications for catch platforms erected on scaffolds and covers temporary stairways for use on a general construction site. Scaffolding required to also act as roof edge protection is now linked to AS/NZS 4994.1 Temporary edge protection, Part 1: General requirements and AS/NZS 4994.2 Temporary edge protection, Part 2: Roof edge protection - Installation and dismantling.
