CISRS Scaffolding Part 1
The law requires that any individual wishing to erect, alter or dismantle scaffolding must be able to prove their competency. The industry-wide accepted proof of competency for operatives is to hold a CISRS Scaffolder Card.
The CISRS Basic Scaffolding Part 1 course is suitable for adult trainees with a minimum of 6 months verifiable experience of scaffolding operations (e.g. Scaffolders’ Labourer) who want to work towards achieving a CISRS Scaffolder Card and NVQ Level 2 in Access and Rigging Operations.
Following completion of the Part 1 course operatives will have been trained to erect and dismantle certain basic scaffolds as listed below. Operatives can apply for a CISRS Trainee Scaffolder card once they have passed a Construction Skills Health and Safety Test. Following completion of the course operatives will need to gain a minimum of 6 months site experience before attending the CISRS Basic Scaffolding Part 2 course also held at LTC Training Services.
