This guidance note is provided to assist anyone involved in the commissioning, specification or determination of scaffolds, to readily identify whether a proposed scaffold requires CPEng design or verification.
All scaffolding must be in accordance with the WorkSafe Scaffolding in New Zealand Good Practice Guideline. This section summarises the requirements of that WorkSafe GPG in respect to what is considered by the regulator to require assessment by a CPEng.Scaffold systems and components must also comply with the AS/NZS1576 suite of standards (or equivalent) and a CPEng will be expected to be competent in the use of these standards.
