National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) - Northern Ireland & Ireland

The NASC is the national trade body for access and scaffolding in the UK, established in 1945 with the aim of promoting high standards of safety within the industry.

Nearly 80 years later, raising and maintaining safety standards remains at the heart of the NASC’s objectives – driving every activity it undertakes.

NASC members are strictly audited every year to ensure compliance with NASC Criteria, Code of Conduct and the Code of Practice for scaffolding products.

These high standards are recognised and valued by construction industry leaders, who continue to stipulate ‘NASC only’ companies for access and scaffolding.

Our mission is to promote and maintain high safety standards in the industry, providing essential guidance recognised as the industry standard.
NASC now has over 800 members. representing over 80% of the UK’s scaffolding spend, exceeding £2 billion annually.

With an extensive network of members, including scaffolding contractors, manufacturers, and suppliers, NASC serves as a vital resource for industry expertise and collaboration.

As NASC continues to expand its membership and influence we remain steadfast in our strategy to elevate the scaffolding and access industry. We have established a developing footprint in Northern Ireland, with a view to representing members who cover both sides of the Border and will be holding our first Annual Expo “Scaffex 24” at the ICC this November,

We invite industry professionals to join us in this journey toward excellence, collaboration, and innovation.
