Scaffolders Face CISRS Card Cost Increase

Scaffolders across the UK are set to see an increase in the cost of their CISRS cards in 2025, marking the first price adjustment in nearly two years.

Today, the Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS) confirmed the changes, citing rising costs and inflation as the driving factors.

From 1 January 2025, the price of a CISRS card will increase to £36.00. A second adjustment will follow on 1 April 2025, raising the price to £38.00. CISRS explained that the decision was not made lightly, with efforts to delay the increase for as long as possible.

“We’ve worked hard with suppliers and stakeholders to minimise the impact of inflation and keep our prices competitive,” a CISRS spokesperson said. “However, this step is essential to ensure we can continue producing and distributing cards sustainably.”

The organisation also pointed out that several other schemes had increased their card prices much earlier, adding that CISRS managed to keep its adjustments to a minimum with the support of NOCN.

New Card Design for 2025

In addition to the price changes, CISRS will introduce a new design for its Scaffolder cards starting 9 January 2025. The updated cards will feature a “First Issue” date, providing a simple visual reference for employers to assess an operative’s experience level.

This change follows feedback from employers, who highlighted the value of having a quick way to gauge the experience of workers on-site. CISRS believes the updated design will improve efficiency and communication between scaffolders and employers.

Balancing Costs and Value

CISRS remains committed to delivering high-quality cards while keeping costs as low as possible. The organisation acknowledges that price increases can be challenging for cardholders but assures the industry that these changes are necessary to maintain its services.
