Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a toe board clip used for?
A. A toe board clip fixes a toe board (also called a kick board) to the inside face of a scaffold standard at working platform level. Toe boards prevent tools, materials, and debris from being accidentally kicked off the platform edge, protecting workers and the public below.
Q. Are toe boards required by UK regulations?
A. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 and BS EN 12811 require working scaffold platforms to have toe boards fitted at all open edges where there is a risk of materials falling. Toe boards must be at least 150mm high and fixed securely at platform level. Toe board clips provide the standardised fixing for timber scaffold boards used as toe boards.
Q. What board thickness does the toe board clip accommodate?
A. Altrad Generation toe board clips are designed to accommodate standard scaffold board thickness, which is 38mm for BS 2482 compliant scaffold boards. Check the product specification if using non-standard board materials.
Q. What scaffold tube diameter does the toe board clip fit?
A. Toe board clips from Altrad Generation fit 3.2mm and 4.0mm scaffold tube.
Q. How many toe board clips do I need per toe board?
A. Fit toe board clips at each standard adjacent to the toe board run. On standard bay widths, fit a minimum of two clips per toe board length to ensure the board is held flat against the standard and cannot be displaced by foot contact or accidental impact.
