Apologies for starting a different thread about the NASC but I didn't want to take anything away from digsie's well made point.
Anyways, I'm sure I'm preaching to the already converted here. The NASC should be exposed for what they are. It seems to be a two bit organisation run on a shoestring with jobs for the big boys.
I work for a scaffolding company in the North East and we recently enquired about joining the NASC.
We were told we would have to pay a non refundable fee to have an assessment carried out. The assessment would apparently be carried out by someone from an NASC member company.
Is it just me but surely having one of your competitors sniffing through your paperwork isn't the most commercially sound ideas?
On another point, there are less than 200 members of the NASC. I read somewhere that there are around 4-5000 scaffolding companies' in the UK.
Can anyone explain how the NASC gets to dictate to the majority about new guidelines and regulations?
I'm all for an organisation that puts up a united front for this industry but unfortunately the NASC isn't and never has done that.
The NASC has the big company mentality where everything is done in meetings behind closed doors and the decisions of the meetings are forced on the rest of us
