1 National Access and Scaffolding Confederation

2 The HSE continues to support and work with the NASC in the development of best industry practice for scaffolding Joy Jones, HSE Principal Inspector National Construction Sector Safety Team

3 More and more main contractors are starting to specify that only NASC (National Access and Scaffolding Confederation) scaffolding companies can work on their sites. By selecting a NASC member you are making the right decision because you are making an informed decision. There is no speculation as to the standard and quality of working practice you will receive because you are using a rigorously regulated scaffolding company. I urge every main contractor to follow your peers and insist on only using NASC regulated scaffolding companies on your sites. Bob Whincap, NASC President National Access and Scaffolding Confederation

4 The NASC have played an active part in the Safety Agenda over the last few years and I would recommend that all Scaffolding Companies join them on this important issue John Spanswick, Chairman, Bovis Lend Lease

5 The NASC - National Access & Scaffolding Confederation has been the established national trade association for the scaffolding industry in the UK for more than 60 years. Our objective is to ensure the scaffolding and access industry maintain the highest practicable standards of workmanship via cohesive development and detailed regulation. The NASC s membership accounts for over 75% of the UK s total spend on scaffolding National Access and Scaffolding Confederation

6 By providing regulated scaffolding companies who have to work to a strong audited procedure. By appointing an NASC member company you can be assured of a scaffolding company which is competent and abides by the latest working practices for scaffolding. How do the help the industry?

7 Carillion recognises that the NASC is the leading body for setting standards for scaffolding in the UK. Our policy is we only use NASC member companies to provide scaffolding on our sites Julia Fancourt, Scaffolding Relationship Category Manager, Carillion Plc National Access and Scaffolding Confederation

8 By understanding what to expect from an NASC member you can obtain a high level of reassurance that when you employ an NASC member to carry out work or supply equipment. You are making an informed decision; you know what to expect, your expectations are met and of course ultimately you are making the right choice.

10 The NASC application and audit process requires all prospective companies to fully comply with the membership criteria. Trading for 2 years: A member company must be able to provide evidence of trading accounts for at least two years prepared by the company accountants/auditors. The company must also be VAT registered. Minimum of 75% Directly Employed Operatives: A minimum of 75% of hourly paid operatives must be directly employed as a condition of membership. All Managers and Supervisors must be directly employed. A High Standard of Trained Personnel: All members must have at least 75% of operatives qualified to the appropriate level of CISRS (Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme), and 50% of the scaffolding workforce must hold either a scaffold or advanced scaffolder card.

11 Adequate Health and Safety provision: All members must provide a satisfactory signed Health and Safety policy statement and evidence that they meet current health and safety legislation. All members must agree to complete the NASC annual accident return. Working Practice: All members must adhere to the latest guidance published by the NASC. Insurance: An NASC member must hold a minimum of 2 million Public Liability Insurance, plus at least 10 million Employers Liability Cover. Materials: NASC Hire, Sale and Manufacturing members must abide by their own code of practice that ensures materials conform to the highest standards and are regularly inspected and maintained. Security: All members are required to identify their equipment using a marking system. Members must then register their colours with the NASC to restrict any theft. All members are expected to be actively involved in crime prevention and report all thefts to both the NASC and the Police. CITB Registered: All members must provide a copy of their certificate of registration to CITB ConstructionSkills and provide proof of levy payment. Code of Conduct: The NASC publishes a code of conduct which all members must abide by. What happens if a member company doesn t conform? In the first instance a member company is asked to take appropriate action to re-conform. If this is not actioned in an agreed timescale then the company will be suspended and may ultimately be expelled. Six members in 2008 were expelled for non-conformity. It gives us an assurance that our scaffolding suppliers are part of an organisation with high standards which they must comply with Jim Higham, Willmott Dixon Group Head of Health and Safety National Access and Scaffolding Confederation

12 It is important that the NASC engages with its members regularly to inform them of all the latest developments. All NASC members are, as a compulsory requirement of membership expected to attend meetings held by the NASC. The development and maintainence of best practice guidance not only involves dialogue with our members but also includes regular consultation with some of the most important and influential organisations in the construction sector. The NASC works regularly with all the organisations identified on the

13 HSE (Health and Safety Executive) UK Contractors Group CISRS (Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme) CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) right to strive for best practice and keep ahead of developments in scaffolding that will remain in line with other construction industry stakeholder initiatives. Indeed many representatives from these organisations are members of the NASC standing committees focusing on particular areas of best practice, for example Health and Safety or Technical issues. All NASC guidance and publications are reviewed in line with the latest developments in construction and are regularly amended and reissued to maintain up to date standards. The regulated scaffolding industry of today is a professional specialist industry with very high standards of workmanship. BSI (British Standards Institute) CITB ConstructionSkills Strategic Forum Access Industry Forum National Access and Scaffolding Confederation

14 Health and safety and best practice are paramount to Osborne...by choosing companies that are stringently regulated to ensure best practice, we massively reduce the risk associated with our construction projects Peter Robertshaw, Director of Health and Safety, Osborne Each guidance note is periodically updated in conjunction with the HSE and developments in product technology. All members of the NASC must work in accordance with the Work At Height Regulations and as part of their continuing compliance for membership must also comply with all NASC published guidance*.

15 The correct guidance is important to our members and to anyone working on or around scaffolding. The NASC produces a large number of documents that are designed as guidance for best practice.

16 BAM s decision to use NASC members is a significant backing for the industry s commitment to spread best practice and change regarding safe erection of scaffolding Frank Garnett, Director of Health and Safety at BAM Construct UK

17 Over the last two decades the number of NASC scaffolders in the UK has risen from approximately 8000 in 1980 to almost by the end of Despite the rise in numbers of scaffolders the incidence rate for accidents has steadily declined. The number of reported accidents in 1980 was 532, by 2008 that figure had reduced to 170. The NASC will continue to strive towards their ultimate goal of zero accidents/incidents, however this figure is still against the trend in general construction where falls from height continue to rise. The NASC produce an annual safety report, which is published to the industry. All full contracting members must contribute to this report. This report is available free upon request National Access and Scaffolding Confederation

18 The Construction and Building Industry are driving the increase of NASC members Despite this demand the NASC remain steadfast to their strict standards without compromise. Pro-active main contractors and clients are insisting that their scaffolding contractor is a NASC member. 17 new companies joined the NASC in 2007, in 2008 the number was 38, taking the number of full membership companies to almost 200. Scaffolding firms are finding it harder and harder to gain work on sites without these credentials. During the first quarter of 2009, 12 further companies had become members of the NASC.

19 The NASC s standards of best practice and safety for the scaffolding industry have resulted in WWU stipulating the use of approved NASC members only in its activities Martin Hooper, Chartered Safety & Health Practitioner, Wales & West Utilities Ltd National Access and Scaffolding Confederation

20 Membership of the NASC is open to any company working in the scaffolding sector, however acceptance is via a strict application process. Applicants are first required to complete (in full) a detailed application form, (failure to meet all the requirements will result in the membership application being denied). Once the application form has been received and the desktop audit completed, independent auditors then inspect both the applicants office and a number of their sites to ensure that best practice is an everyday occurrence. Only once all this criteria has been met, (and their annual membership fee paid) can a company become a member of the NASC. Members are then re-audited after the first 12 months then every two years to ensure continued compliance. Membership is categorised into 3 areas: l Full Contracting Membership: Companies that supply, assemble and dismantle scaffolding via their own labour. l Full Non-Contracting Membership: Companies who supply scaffolding equipment via hire, sale or manufacturing. l Information Membership: Companies that provide a service to the scaffolding industry.

21 The NASC drives change, we are not lowering our standards - the scaffolding industry is rising to meet them and that can only be good news for everyone Robin James, NASC Managing Director National Access and Scaffolding Confederation

22 SG4:05 Interim Guidance Appendix A (September 2008) Ahead of the planned review of SG4 in 2010, an interim guidance note has been produced to acknowledge the types of collective protection equipment which are now available widely in the market. TG20:08 TG20:08 is the latest guidance for the design of all tube and fitting scaffold in the UK. TG20 interprets the differences between the outgoing BS5973 and the now current BS-EN It is envisaged that TG20 will be standard working practice across the scaffolding industry during A Toolbox Talk Pocket Booklet and Presentation are also available to support this new guidance. Hire, Sale and Manufacturing Code of Practice Improvements Developments are also well underway to further enhance procedures for a detailed audit procedure for all NASC full non-contracting members that will ensure that product performance can be measured clearly and accurately.

23 How do I find a NASC member company? All current NASC members can be found via the NASC website, where you can search via company name, town, county or postcode. Want to know more? The NASC website also carries detailed information on the NASC, the specifics of the membership criteria, guidance information, scaffolding terminology, and much more.
