CISRS Releases Updated 2-Day SSPTS Cuplok Course

ADVERTISEMENT

The Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS) has released a newly updated 2-day System Scaffolding Product Training Scheme (SSPTS) Cuplok course.

This development is part of CISRS’s ongoing efforts to standardise training across the UK, ensuring that all SSPTS courses are thorough and in line with the latest industry standards.

As the use of system scaffolding continues to expand within the UK construction industry, the demand for structured and consistent training has become increasingly important.

The updated 2-day SSPTS Cuplok course addresses the distinct differences between various system scaffold products, providing scaffolders who have previously been trained mainly in tube and fitting methods with the skills and knowledge necessary to safely use system scaffold products in accordance with manufacturers’ guidelines.

This course is available to all CISRS cardholders who have completed their Part 1 training. It represents a significant step in ensuring that scaffolders are well-prepared to work with system scaffolds and are kept informed of the latest advancements and best practices within the industry.

More Updates Coming Soon

CISRS has also revealed that updates to other SSPTS courses, including those covering the Layher and Plettac Metrix systems, will be introduced soon. These updates are part of CISRS’s commitment to providing scaffolders with the most relevant and up-to-date training as the construction industry evolves.

CISRS has expressed its appreciation to David Abraham of Fulcrum Scaffold Safety Training & Working at Height Safety Solutions for his expert contributions to the development of this course.

The CISRS website provides additional information on system scaffold training and inspection and details on how to book an SSPTS course. A complete list of training centres offering the relevant courses is also available online.
