For everyone who has already taken the scaffolding safety quiz now is the time to see how you measured up to others in the industry. Our quiz results statistics revealed some fascinating insights into scaffolding knowledge.

The question most people got wrong was: TG20:13 Specifies a minimum surface area for sole pads, but what is it? The answer was 0.1m2 but only 31% of you chose this answer, so definitely worth a revision brush up! The question you all found easiest was: For what length of time is a Scaffolder’s CISRS (Part Two or Advanced) card valid? 86% of you chose the correct answer, which was five years.

Those taking part took an average of 9.57 minutes to complete the scaffolding safety quiz.

A huge thanks to everyone for taking the quiz and for encouraging others by sharing it. The quiz was shared an impressive 82 times through the various social media platforms.
