Delegates will be issued with a CISRS Scaffolding Awareness certificate upon successful completion of the course.
Laura Weekes, CISRS Administrator, said: “This classroom-based course will give tradesmen a basic understanding of what compliant scaffolding looks like and guidance on how they can work at height safely.
“We’re looking to offer this course at training centres nationwide from this summer onwards.”
The introduction of the course has been welcomed by the National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC).
STAY SAFE AT HEIGHT WITH SCAFFOLDING AWARENESS
TRAINING Tradesmen and other construction workers will soon be able to undertake a one-day scaffolding awareness course at a range of training centres across the country.
The course, created by the Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS), is open to any workers who have cause to work on scaffolding – such as painters, bricklayers, electricians and plumbers – and those who want a better understanding of scaffolding operations.
It will provide attendees with a greater understanding and appreciation of the potential dangers of working at height on scaffolds and enable them to identify the core components of a safe scaffold.

Stephen Allen-Tidy, NASC Health and Safety Advisor, said: “The NASC is committed to promoting the highest standards of safety within the industry. Through the publication and dissemination of a wide range of industry-recognised safety and technical guidance – including SG4:15 Preventing Falls in Scaffolding Operations – we continue to drive safety standards upwards.
“This is clearly evidenced in our annual NASC Safety Reports. The 2018 edition saw accidents and injuries recorded by NASC members, collectively employing more than 16,000 scaffolding operatives, fall to an all- time low – with just 89 incidences occurring on-site throughout 2017.
“Through the introduction of the scaffolding awareness training course the scope of safety training efforts is being extended beyond scaffolding operatives, helping to ensure that all workers who set foot on a scaffold can carry out the tasks they require safely.”

Instruments when you attend one of their One-day Noise Awareness Courses in 2019.
The aim of the course is to raise awareness of noise as a risk, increase safety practitioners’ knowledge of how to monitor noise and the current legislation together with encouraging safer behaviours and correct use of hearing PPE.
This year there will be a greater emphasis on the practical workshop so attendees can come away knowing exactly how to use a sound level meter and/ or dosemeter, what they need to measure, and when and how often they need to measure it. Attendees will also have an opportunity to look at how to make HSE compliant reports as part of the course.
