The National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) has partnered with Superbeam media production to revamp its SG6:22′ Management of Manual Handling in the Scaffolding Industry’ training suite, enhancing safety training for the industry. 

The updated training package is set to be updated this spring and includes a new pocket-sized A6 SG6 User Guide for scaffolders, featuring a refreshed design and new illustrations, and an innovative training video.

NASC H&S Manager, Steve Kearney, shared his excitement about the collaboration with Superbeam, saying, “We are now working with Superbeam media production to produce an updated version [of the training video], focusing on the relevant issues and the required learning needed to keep everyone safe from injury in the scaffolding sector.” 

Kearney also mentioned that the video is still in its early stages but is confident that it will contribute to safer and better-trained scaffolding operatives.

In addition to the updated video, NASC and Superbeam are exploring the potential of using open-world gaming software to create a more immersive and engaging training experience. 

Kearney said, “We see huge potential to expand our training repertoire through working with Superbeam. We are currently in discussions about using open-world gaming software to reproduce a training environment in which avatars can freely roam.”

Superbeam founder Tiernan Dixon, who visited NASC’s office this week to discuss the video production with Kearney and new NASC Marketing Manager Sophie Price, expressed his enthusiasm for the innovative training approach. 

Dixon stated, “Open-world games can provide immersive experiences that have immense replay value. In a training environment, that ability to replay, and the realism of these types of software become an incredible tool for learning.”

Once complete, the updated A6 pocket-sized SG6 User Guide and the new training video, both products of the NASC-Superbeam collaboration, will be available for purchase on the NASC website. 

This partnership aims to provide scaffolding professionals with state-of-the-art training materials, promoting a safer work environment across the industry.
