Safety & Access, a leading provider of scaffolding and access training, has announced the appointment of John Hall as their new Scaffold Training Manager.

With an impressive career spanning over 37 years in the scaffolding industry, John will oversee the company’s training operations in the UK and overseas.

John’s journey in scaffolding began in 1987 through a youth training scheme. By age 22, he had achieved his Advanced Scaffold qualification, cementing his place as a skilled professional in the field.

His hands-on experience includes working across sectors such as petrochemical sites, offshore installations, oil refineries, and landmark projects like the Millennium Dome (now The O2).

Over the years, John has held various roles, from scaffolder to supervisor with SGB in Edinburgh and later as a contract manager at Power Group. His career also saw him managing operations at Yarmouth Power Station before transitioning into training at 43, where he found his passion for mentoring the next generation of scaffolders.

John is proficient in delivering various CISRS courses, including COTS, Part 1, Part 2, Advanced, and Scaffold Inspection courses. He is also experienced in training proprietary systems such as Layher, Cuplock, and HAKI, alongside delivering CITB Site Safety Plus courses.

Having previously led the Safety & Access training facility in Humberside, John’s return is being welcomed as a significant boost to the organisation.

His leadership and expertise are expected to enhance the quality and reach of Safety & Access’s training programs both domestically and abroad.

The team at Safety & Access has expressed their excitement at having John back, noting his dedication and extensive knowledge as key assets for their ongoing commitment to excellence in scaffolding training.
