CISRS Courses for a Safer Future

Scaffolding is the backbone of construction and industrial projects, providing safe access and support for work at height. However, improper scaffold use, erection, or maintenance can lead to devastating consequences, from accidents to substantial fines. At Safety & Access, we’re dedicated to ensuring that you and your team have the skills, knowledge, and certifications to work safely and confidently.

Why Scaffold Training Matters

Falls from height remain the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), falls accounted for 50% of fatal construction accidents in the UK in 2023. Scaffolding-related incidents alone contributed to dozens of serious injuries and deaths.

Non-compliance with scaffold safety regulations can also lead to severe penalties. In 2023:

  • A construction firm was fined £1.2 million after an untrained worker fell from a scaffold platform.
  • An inspection blitz revealed that 60% of scaffolds on sites failed to meet safety standards, leading to project delays, fines, and even site closures.

Investing in proper training not only ensures compliance but also saves lives and protects your bottom line.
