CISRS Scaffolding
The Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS) has been the industry recognised scaffold training scheme for over 30 years. It is the preferred scaffolding qualification of all the major organisations including CSCS, NASC, HSE, UKCG, T&G, UCATT and the largest scaffold systems manufacturers.

1. Scope of the Scheme
The Construction Industry Scaffolders’ Record Scheme (CISRS) is expanding with new training schemes that will include operative and management skills. CISRS is now divided into three new categories, with each category offering different courses and programmes.
These new categories are:
I. Scaffolding Operative Schemes
II. Scaffolding Management and Supervisory Training
III. Scaffold Inspector Training
The operative training schemes apply to all scaffolding operatives who are at any time required to erect, substantially alter or dismantle scaffolding. An operative who has not attained prescribed levels of training, assessment and experience in scaffolding of a given kind must not be employed on such scaffolding work unless they are under adequate supervision.


Employers must demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, the Work at Height Regulations 2005, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 and other relevant statutory provisions with regard to training, competence and supervision.
Since September 1996, in addition to completing CISRS Part 1, Part 2 and Advanced practical courses it has been a mandatory requirement of the Operative Scheme for candidates to achieve the relevant National or Scottish Vocational Qualification (i.e. Level 2 NVQ/SVQ for a Scaffolder Card and Level 3 NVQ/SVQ for an Advanced Scaffolder Card).


The aim of the NASC and CISRS is to provide a range of management and supervisory training that meets the specific needs of the scaffolding industry. The first course to be introduced into the scheme is the new 5 Day Scaffolding Supervisors course which is aimed at first line management of Scaffolding Contractors’ (i.e. Contracts Supervisors, Foremen and Charge-Hands). A new Scaffolding Managers course is also planned in the future. It is the intention of the Scheme to align all Supervisory and Management training with relevant vocational qualifications in the future.


The purpose of the CISRS Labourer Card is to provide a CSCS Affiliated Card for non-scaffolders who support scaffolding operations on site. This will assist employers and clients who require a fully CSCS qualified workforce on site. It also ensures that all operatives can demonstrate a minimum level of health and safety knowledge in achieving the CSCS Health and Safety Test.


Training and assessment within the CISRS can only be provided by CISRS Accredited Centres with content and facilities approved and regularly audited by CISRS. The requirements of centres, and the training and assessment they provide is laid down in specific scheme criteria documents and the vocational qualification standards. The following sections provide information and overviews of the various schemes available and associated information.
