CISRS has introduced a mandatory New Entrant Trainee and Scaffolding Labourer course into the scheme.
The new must-have CISRS training makes it a requirement for any new entrant Scaffolding Trainee or Scaffolding Labourer to complete a
CISRS one-day course before a card will be issued. This will go live from September 1st 2013.
The new training courses will be carried out at CISRS-approved centres across the UK. Alternatively, the courses can be run ‘in-house’
by a suitably qualified member of staff – assuming the facilities exist to carry out the training. Any scaffolding company wishing to do ‘inhouse’ training will be required to make an application to CISRS to
deliver this course, and will have their eligibility assessed before being allowed to conduct the courses.
