Although the NASC guidance notes are not law, you would be hard pushed to defend yourself with the HSE from a legal point of view if you chose to work outside the guidance.

I totally agree with you mate, however, what my point is, NASC are not the to be and end all of all SSOW/Method statements, there are other avenues open to us, as Ragscaff, has proved.
The addition of Scaffolders, involved within the formulation and promogulation of any further TG & SG addendums to existing criteria, should be incorporated into the current system regarding 'The right to be consulted', and Consultation rights.
In order for us all to sing from the same hymn sheet, a Representative of NASC would be a great advantage to the 'Scaffolders Forum', not to be used as a Whipping post, but as a intermediary assett to the NASC.
I hope i make myself clear, i am not slagging off the NASC as such, however, maybe they have forgotten about Tom,D1ck and Harriet that they are supposed to represent.
