Scaffolders across the UK will soon have their CISRS cards available at their fingertips, thanks to a new digital app set to launch by early 2026.

The NASC has confirmed that a groundbreaking mobile app will allow cardholders to store their CISRS cards digitally on their smartphones. The app will provide instant access to qualifications, training records, and certifications, streamlining the verification process for employers and site managers.

The app will include contactless scanning technology, enabling real-time credential checks on-site. This innovation is part of a wider six-figure digitisation project undertaken by the NASC and CISRS to modernise and simplify member services.

The development was revealed by NASC CEO Clive Dickin during an exclusive interview with ScaffMag at NASC’s headquarters in London.

He said: “We are aiming to have that in by the beginning of 2026… You will have exactly the same capability to have this card as you would your car key on your phone.”

He continued: “This app will be a game-changer for operatives and employers alike. Forgotten or lost cards will become a thing of the past, and employers will have instant verification of operatives’ qualifications at their fingertips. It will bring a new level of convenience and efficiency to the industry.”

NASC is also developing a general app that could host a range of guidance documents

The new digital system is expected to significantly reduce administrative burdens on both employers and operatives while ensuring up-to-date compliance information is always at hand.

This development is part of a wider plan by NASC and CISRS to digitise their services. Clive Dickin also revealed that NASC is developing a general app that could host a range of guidance documents, safety alerts, and other industry resources, making it a central hub for many scaffolding professionals.
