The National Access & Scaffolding Confederation has introduced a new 24-page brochure, which explains to clients and contractors why adopting a policy to use only regulated scaffolding firms helps them meet the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 in terms of competence requirements.
The brochure gives answers to the typical questions that clients or main contractors may ask before considering whether to adopt a scaffolding policy. Throughout the document there are testimonials from major construction industry figures and companies, including Bovis, Willmott Dixon, Osborne, Carillion, BAM Construct, as well as the HSE.
“The momentum is clearly gathering pace in terms of the UK insisting on only using regulated scaffolding companies,” commented NASC president, Bob Whincap. “The sooner all scaffolding is only carried out by regulated scaffolding firms, the sooner sites in the UK will become safer environments.
This brochure has been designed to take the debate to the masses and help convince those companies yet to make the decision that this is the right thing to do.”
The NASC has already sent the brochure to the leading 100 construction contractors in the UK and armed its membership with numerous copies, in the start of what will be a continued campaign.
