Abstract
A clamp for use in securing a toeboard in scaffolding. The clamp has a laterally extending slot with an associated first screw fastener; and an upwardly extending slot with an associated second screw fastener. The clamp is formed such that the laterally extending slot can be manoeuvred by hand to extend around a longitudinal edge of a scaffolding deck and the first fastener can be screw turned (eg by hand) to press against the scaffolding deck. The clamp is also formed such that a toeboard can be stood up in the upwardly extending slot and the second fastener can be screw turned (eg by hand) to press against the toeboard to secure it to the clamp.

- the clamp being formed such that:
- a) the laterally extending slot can be manoeuvred by hand to extend around a longitudinal edge of a scaffold crossbar and the first fastener then screw turned (eg by hand) to secure the clamp to the scaffold crossbar;
- and
- b) a toeboard can be stood up in the upwardly extending slot and the second fastener then screw turned (eg by hand) to press against the toeboard to secure it to the clamp;
- and
- c) both the laterally extending slot and the upwardly extending slot can be located above a scaffolding deck such that the clamp extends downwards from the scaffold cross bar.
