Scaffold Register

A scaffold register in Excel for builders, scaffolders and principal contractors. Record each scaffold with its type, platform height, erector and licence class, design registration number and handover certificate, then log every inspection and alteration. The sheet works out when the next inspection is due, at least every 30 days, and marks any handed over scaffold that is overdue in red. It also flags whether a scaffold is over 4 metres or a listed type, so you can see which scaffold duties apply. Use it as a scaffold register template for every site.
