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.
In addition to scaffolding design checks, we can also carry out onsite inspections to make sure temporary works adhere to procedures.

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.

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.
