Abstract: A scaffolding assembly is disclosed. The system includes scaffolding poles joints (or fittings) for releasably securing the poles at cross-over points. Each scaffolding joints has an inner body member and two movable outer clamping members to clamp the poles to the body member at the cross-over points. The body member also has as a mounting for a safety connection member which projects laterally the scaffolding poles towards an operative. The safety connection member can be connected to a safety tension member from the operative such that a safety connection point is available at each of the scaffolding joints.
