    2. Great site but I have Issues with a few answers.in my mind Should be ground bearing pressure checked by competent person and suitable. Answer wants it to say chuck scaffold boards on the soft ground to use the mewp . This can’t be right unless someone has arranged design calculations and checks. If it tips over is a Riddor? The other is scaffold min width, I am likely wrong but thought it was 650-675mm 3 scaffold boards. Answers states to suit the job. Do we go to tg:20 or a bespoke design? The question is ambiguous. What if the job requires 200mm? That is too narrow, a board is 225mm alone plus tubes and fittings? Thanks for the site.
