A Cat 3 check is the final stage in designing a safe and effective scaffold. If you are based in Manchester, London or anywhere else in the UK, JM Scaffold Design Ltd can provide this independent check. Our attention to detail ensures no mistakes or miscalculations are overlooked, giving you total assurance that the design is suitable for its intended purpose.

Do You Need a Category 3 Check?

Category 3 checks are necessary for complex and unusual temporary works designs and those located in a high-hazard environment. Common projects where this type of check is required include work on railways and highways as well as in nuclear and offshore industries.

In line with HSE regulations, you should contact JM Scaffold design for a category 3 check if the design of scaffolding is complex or innovative, resulting in complex sequences of moving and/or constructing temporary works. An independent, competent person must complete the third-party check, which is where our company comes in.

What to Expect

All Cat 3 checks are completed by specialists in scaffolding design. With our experienced team, you will receive:

  • Checks compliant with BS5975

  • Third-party checks on designs and calculations

  • Detailed checks of design concept, strength and structural adequacy and compliance with the design brief

  • Feedback on the validity of the design, including safety and design efficacy

  • Advice on any necessary design modifications

  • Potential identification of less labour-intensive solutions and/or alternative materials which could save money

  • A professional, collaborative service aimed at helping you find the right solutions

  • Design certificate provided for all design checks

Onsite Inspections

As well as providing Cat 3 checks, JM Scaffold Design carries out onsite inspections for clients in London, Manchester, the North West and all UK locations. We will visit your site and inspect your temporary works structure, ensuring it has been installed as per the design and in accordance with regulations.

During the inspection, we check safety, hazards and overall scaffold integrity. Where necessary, we advise on appropriate solutions to rectify any design/installation issues. Our team will also ensure compliance with British Standards and HSE requirements.
