By leveraging advanced techniques and best practices, this video becomes an indispensable tool for scaffolding and access operatives, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to handle this high-risk area with confidence and proficiency.

The SG6 video stands out due to its innovative delivery format. It employs state-of-the-art digital avatars, tailored to suit diverse learning environments.

An additional advantage of the SG6 Manual Handling Training Video is its inclusion in the NASC ePortal subscription at no extra cost to subscribers.

Key features of the SG6 Manual Handling Training Video include:

The SG6 Video not only focuses on relevant issues and required learning to prevent injuries but also includes detailed guidance on what employers should assess when evaluating client sites before commencing work. 

It also encourages consideration of other NASC guidance in their Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), such as SG5 Overhead Power Sources, SG31 Management of Slips and Trips, and SG34 Guidance on Protection of the Public (when looking at preventing falling material).

Commenting on the launch, Clive Dickin, CEO of NASC, remarked, “We are thrilled to introduce the SG6 Manual Handling Training Video, a pioneering resource that promises to redefine safety standards within the scaffolding and access industry. With its innovative approach and seamless integration into existing training frameworks, we are confident that this video will serve as a catalyst for driving positive change and fostering a culture of safety excellence.”
