Discuss Earthing a scaffold any suggestions in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

If I recall correctly BS62305 covers lightning protection. And if the Church had protection deployed and was still damaged, then bet those lovely insurance folk would make a case that only God could defeat BS62305 so it's clearly an act of God, so no need to pay out ...
 
It was inevitable that tel would post a link to that song.
 
Hi,who has asked you to "alter" this scaffolding?

The outfit responsible for erecting it,and whoever commissioned it,would or should have done a risk assessment,and any requirement to earth/bond or otherwise modify the structure,would be in that.

You cannot start clamping cables to a structure which at end of build up,and on a daily basis,should be inspected visually,to conform to exactly what was commissioned and agreed.

There could be a discussion regarding any unauthorised work,such as this,as introducing a potential electrical risk,where there was not one previously.

This is a common issue,with large,long-running refurbs,on churches,community halls,scout halls,etc,where "bob" on the committee,who did a bit of electrical work when working,mentions during a meeting,that there needs some "earthing",and he can sort it...

If i am wrong,i apologise,which means there is a request through specification,in which case,simply follow that directive.
