Sounds more like guidlines for mobile towers rather than scaffolding in general

Talking of Mobile Towers..................when we were doing the new terminal at Luton Airport (great job) 10 or 12 years ago ..... we watched in awe as two Painters pushed their mate along, who was on top of about five lifts of Moblie Tower!

At one stage the tower even went over about 15 degrees from the vertical........ but miraculously they managed to get it to the next beam they were painting and we didn't need to have a collection for a cretin :amazed:
