I won't name names, but there is a scaffolding company in my area who use an alloy system scaffold which is a very similar design to kwikstage.
I've been told by lads who have worked there that they are putting their scaffolders (I use the term loosely) through their PASMA cards to get around them needing CISRS cards. The catch is, because it is a system scaffold and its not made of steel, they are putting it up under PASMA cards.
I know you don't need a CISRS card to put system scaffolds up but surely this is stretching it a bit.
I did my PASMA card years ago and nowhere in the course did you learn anything about drilled ties, cantilevers or anything much more than putting up aluminium towers.
This company are doing a lot scaffolds on council houses where you have to use drilled ties unless the pull tests say the brickwork isn't suitable.
