Readylok falls out of scope of TG20:08 so one would presume it was designed ......

As the Viking says it should be a design job, however, not sure what the benifit of boarding 5'0" lifts are?
Almost sure that there are H&S issues there. Safe access and egress What did the risk assesment look like? What say you Ian??
Unless the scaffold is progressive and the boards are left for the strike perhaps?
