Hi all
Have been told that a scaffold job start today , company has supplied me with advanced scaffolder proof
ok great ,
My worrie is who is going to be working the advanced scaffolder
1) do the labourers have to be registered with CISRS as absolute minimum or just CSCS carded ?
It clearly states in CISRS documents that ,
question " Is a a CISRS scaffolder labourer allowed to work on scaffold structure / handling materials ect "

As far as I know, there is no requirement for labourers to hold a CISRS labourer card, but it would be preferable. CSCS as a minimum, with manual handling training essential.
According to NASC guidance - 'Labourers are only allowed to work at ground level or with safe access to a fully boarded and double guard railed section of a scaffold platform passing scaffolding equipment.'
Is it only an advanced scaff and labourer on site? What is the type of scaffold work taking place?

Hi Wobblemounth
Yes its bridge works over water , 3 meter high, I have been down and been shown RAMs ect.
The guy has avanced card ok, and the other 3 guys have CSCSs cards on them which is what i was hoping to see at the very minimum.
The CSCS card holders are going to pass materials to advanced scaffolder to errect scaffold and will not access scaffold ?
Are we fully compliant ?
Thanks
J

These 3 labourers must not wear harnesses or carry tools, as their role is only to move materials around (poor buggars!). They can only ever access completed sections of scaffolds - fully boarded and guardrailed. As long as your advanced scaffolder can complete the scaffolding task safely single-handed, you should be okay.
Then there's the other stuff to consider : rescue, scaffold design, material quality, PFPE use, etc. Probably all covered in their RAMS if they're a decent outfit.

Suggest that you download the NASC sacffold specification doument, this has a section that details what level of scaffolder can do ie Advanced or labourer
