TRAINING | NASC YEARBOOK 2012
NASC MEMBER EMPLOYEE WINS NCC APPRENTICE OF THE YEAR
The NCC Construction Awards for Scaffolding demonstrate an industry commitment to apprenticeships even in straitened times, says Bob Whincap, ASITO chairman
in these tough economic times it is very encouraging to note that our members continue to invest in the future of the industry by qualifying their workforce via the CISRS scheme. The NASC was the proud sponsor of
the 2011 NCC Construction Awards for Scaffolding. It was pleasing to see the membership well represented across all regions with several members’ employees picking up awards.

CISRS training goes to site 2011 saw the introduction of on-site training for some of the short duration CISRS courses (Systems Scaffold Product Training Scheme, Scaffold Inspection Training Scheme); this
“Allowing CISRS SSPTS courses to take place on site will drive competency in system scaffold training to new heights.” Neil Moffat, group health and safety manager, Deborah Services Ltd
“We are delighted to be the first CISRS provider in the UK to have delivered on site SSPTS training in partnership with DSL.” Rick Statham, joint MD Safety and Access Ltd
concession has been well received by the membership with several of them taking advantage of the change to CISRS scheme rules. The very first on-site SSPTS courses took place early this year at Fawley Refinery in Hampshire. Over a two month period Safety and Access Ltd delivered 12 Layher Allround® SSPTS courses to over 100 scaffolders employed by Deborah Services Ltd. A number of these scaffolders had been using the Layher product on site for a considerable time which makes DSL’s commitment to formally qualifying them through the CISRS SSPTS programme all the more commendable. We are hoping that the flexibility provided by on-site training will encourage many other members to qualify their workforce in the safe use of systems products.
Scaffold Inspection Training Scheme In October we introduced the revised CISRS Basic and Advanced Inspection courses. Demand for these courses remains high and they are available across the country at most accredited providers. NASC/CISRS have agreed that those
operatives holding CISRS Scaffolder or Advanced cards could be deemed competent to inspect scaffold structures up to the grade of their card. This concession will continue until 2015 at which point any person wishing to inspect advanced structures will be required to complete the CISRS Advanced course.
Refresher training In the recent Pye Tait survey into competency card schemes it was pleasing to note that of the 300+ schemes studied, CISRS was rated in the top 4%. We are constantly striving to improve
the scheme and, working via ASITO and our membership on UKCG Health & Safety and Training committees, we are looking to introduce formal refresher training for CISRS Supervisory, Inspection and core scheme courses.
