Toe boards are a requirement under the Work at Height Regulations 2005, generally referenced alongside BS EN 12811 for protecting the edges of working platforms. This is the clip scaffolding crews use to fix a toe board to a ledger or transom, closing the gap where tools and materials could fall from height.
As a scaffolding clip, it fits 38mm boards that meet BS 2482, so you can pair it with the boards already used across most scaffold builds. It also works with tube from 3.2mm to 4.0mm wall thickness, covering the tube sizes found on most sites.
Weighing just 0.20kg, the toe board clip is light enough to fit and remove quickly as a platform goes up or comes down. It is made from steel and holds the toe board firmly against the ledger or transom, closing the edge of the platform to help stop tools and materials falling. It is part of the wider Scaffold Fittings range from Altrad Generation.
