What Is a Crash Deck?
A crash deck is a fully boarded scaffold platform installed below the working area to catch any materials, tools or debris that fall during construction. It acts as a safety net in solid form.
They are commonly required on sites where work is being carried out above occupied areas, public walkways, or where other trades are working below. Building inspectors and health and safety officers will often require a crash deck before certain types of work can begin.
When You Need One
- Roof work above occupied floors or public areas
- Demolition work where debris could fall onto lower levels
- Projects adjacent to public footpaths and roads
- Multi-trade sites where workers are operating on different levels
- Any situation where falling objects pose a risk
Our Approach
We design the crash deck to cover the required area and build it to handle the expected loads. The deck is fully boarded with no gaps and integrated into the wider scaffold structure. We carry out a full inspection before handover and provide regular scaffold inspections throughout the hire period.
Common Questions
Is a crash deck a legal requirement?
It depends on the risk assessment. Where there is a risk of falling materials injuring workers or the public, a crash deck is usually required under the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and CDM Regulations.
Can you add a crash deck to existing scaffold?
Yes. We can adapt existing scaffold to incorporate a crash deck, subject to a site assessment.
