The NASC develops and publishes
best practice guidance in accordance with latest industry guidelines and
with significant input from the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) in all
matters relating to scaffolding in the UK.
The NASC’s membership accounts for over 75% of the UK’s
scaffolding industry. The criteria for joining the NASC are tough. Members
are carefully vetted and audited at the initial application stage,
re-audited after the first 12 months and then every two years to ensure
strict compliance with the confederation’s membership criteria. This
process ensures that members are closely regulated and meet the NASC’s
objectives of maintaining and developing best practice throughout the
industry.
Recognition of the NASC’s work is increasingly
acknowledged. As a result, more and more clients and main contractors now
insist on only using NASC regulated scaffolding firms as a way of
demonstrating ‘competence’ as required by the Construction (Design and
Management) Regulations 2007.
