Q: Who is competent to inspect a scaffold?

Legislation specifies that anyone carrying out an inspection must be competent to do so. To be competent that person must have the necessary training, knowledge and experience.

As a minimum the NASC would recommend:

a) A CISRS Scaffolder cardholder would be deemed competent to inspect the scaffold structures that are covered in the CISRS Part 1 & Part 2 courses provided their employer can demonstrate they have the necessary knowledge and experience.

b) A CISRS Advanced Scaffolder cardholder would be deemed competent to inspect the scaffold structures that are covered in the CISRS Part 1, Part 2 & Advanced courses provided their employer can demonstrate they have the necessary knowledge and experience.

The contents and overall objectives of the CISRS courses can be found in the CAP 609 General Information Booklet Appendix A-C page 26-30. CISRS - the industry recognised scaffold training scheme

c) A CISRS Scaffolding Supervisor cardholder would be deemed competent to inspect the basic scaffold structures that are covered in the CISRS Part 1 and Part 2 courses provided their employer can demonstrate they have the necessary knowledge and experience. If they also hold an Advanced Scaffolders card, then they would be deemed competent to inspect advanced structures.

The content and overall objectives of the CISRS Scaffolding Supervisor course can be found in the CAP 609 General Information Booklet pages 16-17. CISRS - the industry recognised scaffold training scheme

d) A person who has been on a Basic Scaffold Inspection Course * (min. two days) would be deemed competent to inspect a basic scaffold structure provided their employer can demonstrate they have the necessary knowledge and experience and they have passed the knowledge test at the end of the course.

This course is suitable for: Management/Supervision who are responsible for inspecting scaffolds and completing reports in accordance with the Work at Height Regulations 2005.

Note: If candidates who have attended the Basic Course want to inspect more complex scaffolds, then they will need to complete the Advanced Course after they have gained sufficient experience inspecting Basic Scaffolds on a regular basis.

e) A person who has been on an Advanced Scaffold Inspection Course * (min. two days) would be deemed competent to inspect more complex scaffold structures provided their employer can demonstrate they have the necessary knowledge and experience and they have passed the knowledge test at the end of the course.

This course is suitable for: Experienced Scaffold Inspectors, Management/Supervision who are responsible for inspecting, commissioning and handing over scaffolds, and completing reports in accordance with the Work at Height Regulations 2005.

f) Persons who are required to carry out inspections of System Scaffolds must, in addition to the basic scaffold inspection course, attend an approved product training course for the specific system scaffold required and have their card endorsed with the product selected.

* Several CISRS approved training centres already offer Basic and Advanced Inspection training (both 2 days duration)

Note: • Any competent person who is not carrying out scaffold inspections on a regular basis would need to consider additional refresher training
 
Their courses dont show that they train anyone in any tube and fitting work just 3 types of basic system scaffolds, in order to assist a qualified person to erect or dismantle.
So maybe a part 2 is ok to do this ?(IF HE HAS BEEN TRAINED TO DO SO). I still think that any person teaching though should at least be an Advanced scaffolder!!!

damn right, the money is crap was earning the same 25 years ago on the Thames Barrier and 30 years ago in Scotland...training remains very problematic kids coming out of CITB centres thinking they are skilled when they know squat, employers willing to pay agencies top dollar and agencies that pay crap money skimming from the top like some protection rackett UCATT useless at protecting this industry only interested in living off our backs with fat salaries, fat pensions and grace and favour perks for them and their Labour Louts...the industry is a basket case....spanner6

Just to clear up this thread they are not offering CISRS training, CISRS carries a criteria. Anyone can train scaffolding however will a certificate in system get you on site when the client wants CISRS.
 
It`s about making money and only making money , if an advanced scaffolder erects a job that does not come up to standard he should have his card reviewed . As should any other scaffolder or trade for that matter . This would do away with refresher nonesence . Any updates in legislation or practices could be sent out via email quite easily .It`s a racket end of .
 
part 1 cost

Anyone know roughly how much it cost to do part 1 ticket and best place to go for it?

Very amusing.

Although I would suggest that the NASC might have cause to sue for traducement, with a statement like that in the public domain.

Unless you could prove it to be true, obviously....

I suppose that would depend on whether they had any skeletons in the closet that they may be worried about being exposed.
