Some people seem to tell us that scaffolding is a legal requirement. Others seem to tell us that it's only a legal requirement to work safely, which could involve items such as scaffolding.
I don't know whether this job needs it offhand, and I'll ask, but I do wonder whether those that don't use scaffolding are playing fast and loose with the law or exercising common sense.
Nor, therefore, do I know what my liability might be these days if someone shins up a ladder on my property and falls off.
