The National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) and the Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS) arranged for more than 70 Swedish scaffolding industry professionals to gain a first-hand feel for scaffolding training in the UK during a visit to the National Construction College near Glasgow.

The Swedish group consisting ofย members of the STIB, an association of Swedish scaffolding contractors had travelled to Scotland for their Annual General Meeting (AGM).

With the UK regarded as leaders in scaffolding training, STIB contacted the NASC to see whether they could take a trip to a CISRS approved training centre.

STIB members were given a tour of the centre, witness CISRS training taking place and received short presentations from CISRS Scheme Manager David Mosley on the goals and objectives of the NASC and CISRS and an overview of the UK scaffolding market from Haki Ltdโ€™s Charles Stratford, Engineering Manager, and Steve Coshall, Sales Manager.

David Mosley said: โ€œIt was great to meet all the members of STIB, an association which we have developed positive working relationships with through our mutual membership of UEG, the representative body for scaffolding in Europe.

โ€œIโ€™d like to thank Alastair Oโ€™May, Head of the Access department at NCC Scotland for hosting the event.โ€

Hakan Carlsson, STIB Permanent Secretary, said: โ€œOur members really enjoyed the tour. It was great to witness first-hand how scaffolding training is delivered in the UK. Iโ€™m sure our members have picked up more than a few ideas from CISRS in relation to scaffolding training which they can put into practice in Sweden.โ€
