The NASC is offering free access to its specialist scaffolding expertise, guidance and support through Information membership.

Through the new membership category, the NASC hopes to formalise its existing working relationships with businesses across the UK, including main contractors, house builders, local authorities and councils, clients and trade bodies, and forge many more connections.

Through NASC Information membership, a two-way communications pipeline will be established. The NASC will be able to share news and updates that are relevant to those who play a role in the procurement or management of scaffolding operations, while members will be able to access scaffolding advice and support from the industry experts.

NASC Managing Director Robin James said: "The NASC understands the challenges involved in building, maintaining and managing a safe and compliant supply chain.

"The Confederation sets the standard for scaffolding and plays an active role in helping its Contractor members to ensure the complex access and protection solutions they deliver – always regarded as a high-risk activity – are done so safely and compliantly.


"Through NASC Information membership, the NASC is extending this specialist support role to the wider construction industry – completely free of charge.

"By becoming an NASC Information Member, organisations will gain access to the latest scaffolding industry guidance and knowledge they need to achieve safety and technical competence on their projects."

NASC Information membership provides members with:

• Access to the audited Contractor members directory to help build a safe and compliant scaffolding supply chain

• Scaffolding information support: Got a scaffolding question? The NASC’s in-house technical, health & safety and contractual experts can help.

• Discount on all NASC guidance – 100+ titles covering Health & Safety, Contractual, Technical, Product Purchasing and Asset Protection issues

• Relevant monthly e-bulletins, helping members to keep ahead of industry changes, including guidance, toolbox talks and site safety posters

• Unlimited user log ins – meaning multiple individuals within member organisations can access the benefits above.

NASC Information membership is FREE and open to businesses that are involved in the procurement of scaffolding contractors or would benefit from receiving scaffolding industry support and guidance and fall outside the remit of the NASC Design, NASC Contractor, NASC Supplier or NASC Services & Ancillary Products membership categories.
