Providing Know-how For A Changing World

摘要

It was another extremely busy year for the Training Committee in 2008, and 2009 is showing no signs of being any different. At the time of writing there are over 30,000 current valid CISRS (Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme) cardholders on the database, which is the highest level in many years with a 50% increase on the 2006 year-end figures of 20,941. Although ASITO (Access and Scaffolding Industry Training Organisation) and NASC have always recognised CISRS cards as the required benchmark for sector training, we are pleased that the increase in cardholders shows that industry as a whole is now also following suit. With ECiA (Engineering Construction Industry Association) withdrawing their scaffolding card it will be the case that by the end of 2010, if you do not hold a CISRS card, you will not be accepted onto any site to carry out scaffolding works.
