NASC improves scaffolding charter

One of the significant updates focuses on the achievement of quality scaffolding works in line with NASC-published guidelines and best working practices, including the members' yard.

Enhanced focus on personnel standards and employment are improved giving flexibility and quality employment the key focus. NASC continues to advocate direct employment, but members will be assessed to ensure the same level of support and treatment exists for all operatives within their contractual guidelines, regardless of the method of employment.

Jamie McGuire, NASC’s membership manager said: “We are enormously proud of our new charter, which reflects our commitment to excellence and innovation in the scaffolding industry. We believe that these changes will enhance the quality and standards of our members’ work, as well as their reputation and customer satisfaction. We hope that our members will embrace the new charter and see it as an opportunity to grow and improve their businesses.”

Clive Dickin CEO of NASC commented: “NASC is the most progressive and open trade association for scaffolding and access contractors in the UK, we welcome any business that is committed to delivering the highest qualities to its clients. Minimal risk and high efficiency should be the key focus, with quality assurance to clients through the NASC Membership Charter. In the past NASC has focused on blunt tests, the new charter will allow quality outcomes from high-quality scaffolding contracting businesses to shine.”
