Support for the NASC comes from every corner of the construction industry. Numerous pro-active main contractors and clients are already insisting that their scaffolding contractor is a NASC member.

“The HSE continues to support and work with the NASC in the development of best industry practice for scaffolding.”

“BAM’s decision to use NASC members is a significant backing for the industry’s commitment to spread best practice and change regarding safe erection of scaffolding. It will help scaffolding contractors to use collective protection and comply with the Work at Height Regulations. [This protects both themselves and those around them].”

“The NASC have played an active part in the Safety Agenda over the last few years and I would recommend that all Scaffolding Companies join them on this important issue.” John Spanswick, Chairman, Bovis Lend Lease

“Carillion recognises that the NASC is the leading body for setting standards for scaffolding in the UK. It is therefore Carillion Plc policy that we use only NASC member companies to provide scaffolding on our sites.” Julia Fancourt, Scaffolding Relationship Category Manager, Carillion Plc.

“Health and safety best practice is of the utmost importance to Sisk and we are committed to working with like-minded companies to deliver safe construction sites. Our policy to exclusively use members of the NASC ensures we are only working with companies who have demonstrated a high level of competence in this high risk area of the industry. We would encourage all scaffolding contractors who have not achieved NASC membership to raise their game and meet the high standards required.”
|

“We have adopted this very clear policy of only considering awarding future contracts to those organisations and companies who are full members of the NASC. We believe that the standards of technical and professional guidance and customer service that the NASC embody, is exactly in line with our vision for the future.”

“Health and safety and best practice are paramount to Osborne. Stipulating NASC scaffold companies is the natural and responsible decision. By choosing companies that are stringently regulated to ensure best practice, we massively reduce the risk associated with our construction projects.”

"As a client, we have identified scaffolding operations as one of the key risks on site, and it is carried out under close public scrutiny. Consequently, it is important that we have confidence in the professionalism and competency of our scaffolders. In our view, membership of the NASC provides the evidence that the company will be able to meet these fundamental criteria and will be working in accordance with the industry best practice. We are already seeing the benefits of this approach during our busy schedule of summer works (totalling some £15m)." Nick Bell CMIOSH RMaPS

“Safety is the highest priority for gas distribution company Wales & West Utilities (WWU). The NASC’s standards of best practice and safety for the scaffolding industry have resulted in WWU stipulating the use of approved NASC members only in its activities.” Martin Hooper, Chartered Safety & Health Practitioner, Wales & West Utilities Ltd.

“Being a NASC member is the best way to demonstrate all round competency that includes compliance with all relevant CDM regulations. It’s a badge of quality that we expect from companies whose activity involves working at height to erect and dismantle scaffolding that poses a higher safety risk than usual on a construction site.
We want to use all means available to create an incident free work place and this is an important part of that process. It gives us an assurance that our scaffolding suppliers are part of an organization with high standards which they must comply with.” Jim Higham, Willmott Dixon Group Head of Health and Safety
