as im sure you are all aware this weather is playing havoc with scaffold boards, especially new ones. Who is responsible should there be an accident caused by a badly twisted board. cheers.
 
it is the users responsibility to inspect the scaffold every seven days or after adverse weather. it could be argued that a prolonged heat spell is adverse weather.so take your pick i would say at least once a day some may say every other day
 
Good luck contesting a PI claim on the basis that it is the responsibility of the hirer (not the user, as incorrectly stated above) to ensure that it is in a safe condition.

Any PI claim going to the hirer, or the principal contractor, generally results in a counter-claim from their insurers, anyway.

How and when the inspections have been carried-out are pretty irrelevant in the event of a PI claim.
