Maintaining High Standards in Scaffolding
Safeguard
your work
The Construction and Building Industry are driving the
increase and demand for NASC members.
Numerous pro-active main contractors, clients and
local authorities are already insisting that their scaffolding
contractor must be a NASC member.
Scaffolding firms are finding it harder and harder to gain
work on sites without these credentials.
Such developments are not surprising given the strict
competence requirements under CDM 2007 for clients
and contractors to demonstrate their own competence
and be satisfied as to the competence of those engaged.

Foreword
Foreword
The Construction Industry Scaffolder’s Record Scheme (CISRS) has been in place
for over 30 years. It is one of the oldest trade card schemes in existence. CISRS has
continually strived to maintain the highest standards in scaffolding training. In the current
climate of skills shortages, the CISRS has resisted the urge to dilute its scheme and has
in fact sought to make it more inclusive incorporating relevant industry changes as they
happen, be they legislative or through Technical/Health and Safety advancement.
The scheme was originally introduced in the late 1960’s but training began in earnest
after 1979 following the development of formal Part 1, Part 2 and Advanced courses.
Since then tens of thousands of scaffolders have undertaken CISRS training. In 1996
Vocational Qualifications (VQ) were developed for the Construction sector, The CISRS
had an active role in developing the content of the Accessing Operations and Rigging
(Construction) (QCF) qualification. Since their introduction a scaffolding operative has
been required to complete both the practical training and the VQ prior to a CISRS card
being issued.
CISRS was the first trade card to affiliate to the Construction Skills Certification Scheme
(CSCS) in August 1999. CSCS is the industry recognised registration scheme for the
whole of construction. In April 2001 CISRS introduced a card renewal programme which
requires its cardholders to update their card on a regular basis (usually 5 years) after
completing an up to date Health and Safety test.
In response to the introduction of the Work at Height Regulations (2005) CISRS
Assessed Route of Entry for Tube and Fitting Scaffolding was finally withdrawn in June
2006. All delegates wishing to obtain a CISRS Scaffolder or Advanced card following that
date would be required to meet all requisite scheme criteria including Part 1, Part 2 and
Advanced courses, S/NVQ 2, 3 plus valid H&S certification.
At this time CISRS qualifications in System Scaffold were introduced to the scheme.
These could be obtained through the traditional Part 1, Part 2, and VQ2 route or via short
duration product courses for those who had already qualified in tube and fitting.
In 2011 CISRS will look at developing CISRS training overseas. There has always been
a demand for UK standard Scaffolder Training abroad and CISRS feel that they should
attempt to facilitate this need.
It is our belief that the Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme will continue to
build on the excellent results it has already achieved by making a significant contribution
to reducing the number of accidents associated with scaffolding. CISRS are also aware
that in extending the scope of the Scheme, major benefits will accrue to industry as a
whole. The scheme continues to deliver training that reflects best practice and industry
guidance.

Section 1 – Scope of the Scheme
1. Scope of the Scheme
The Construction Industry Scaffolder’s Record Scheme (CISRS) continues to expand and
develop operative and supervisory training . CISRS is now divided into three categories,
with each category offering different courses and programmes. These 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 scheme has since been further enhanced by the inclusion of a mandatory skills test/
assessment following Part 2 and Advanced training.
The aim of 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 was the 5 Day Scaffolding Supervisors course which is aimed at first line
management of Scaffolding Contractors’ (i.e. Contracts Supervisors, Foremen and nonworking Charge-Hands). It is the intention of the Scheme to align all management and
supervisory 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 Construction Skills 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 an overview of the various schemes
available.

Section 2 – Scaffolding Operative Schemes
2. Scaffolding Operative Schemes
The scaffolding operative schemes provided by CISRS Accredited Centres are the
nationally recognised training and assessment schemes for Scaffolding in the UK. It is
also viewed by many employers as scaffolding industry best practice overseas.
In addition to the traditional Scaffolder card scheme based predominately on tube and
fitting equipment, CISRS also provides training, assessment and card schemes for
Scaffolding operatives who use modular system scaffolding. These include a proprietary
system scaffolding training and assessment scheme for Scaffolders, very basic training
for non-scaffolders who regularly use system scaffolding equipment and a Scaffolding
Labourer’s card scheme.
CISRS Scaffolder Cards are only issued to candidates who:
I.
II.
III.
IV.
V.
attend the relevant CISRS training course(s),
have the required site experience in scaffolding operations; and,
provide suitable evidence for assessment.
complete the relevant skills test and VQ assessment
complete Construction Skills Health & Safety test or equivalent
The Record Cards are endorsed with the training courses and VQ qualifications achieved.
The flow chart (Figure 1) summarises the main CISRS Schemes available for Scaffolders.
2.1 CISRS Scaffolder (Tube and Fitting Route)
The CISRS Scaffolder (Tube and Fitting) is the original scaffolders’ scheme. It is
aimed at scaffolding operatives who require scaffolding skills and knowledge in
using traditional tube and fitting scaffolding equipment. You can also find more
information on Scaffolder Apprenticeships in section 2.4.

Once an employer or sponsor accepts an operative to be trained as a Scaffolder,
they can apply for a CISRS Trainee Card, providing they have completed the
Construction Skills Health and Safety Test or recognised equivalent (see section 6.2
Construction Skills Health and Safety Tests and Equivalents). The CISRS Trainee
Card is then valid for 18 months from the date of issue, in which time the Trainee
must gain 6 months* practical experience and attend the Part 1 training course for
tube and fitting at an Accredited centre.
*An operative must have a minimum of 6 months practical on-site experience prior
to attending Part 1 training.
Part 1 training courses are booked directly with an Accredited Centre. A list of
Accredited Centres and contact details can be found in Appendix I. The Part 1
training for tube and fitting is held over 2 weeks (10 consecutive working days
Monday to Friday).
Upon successful completion of Part 1 training, the Trainee will be issued with a
CISRS Completion Certificate and an application form to have their Trainee Card
endorsed with the Part 1 training for tube and fitting. The Accredited providers will
notify the data management unit at Construction Skills of successful completion.
Trainees who fail to demonstrate the required levels of experience, skill and
knowledge will fail the course. They will be required to attend the 2 week course
again once they have gained sufficient experience if they wish to progress.
Trainee Scaffolders may now be registered for Vocational Qualification and start
gathering records of work based evidence (see section 5 for further information
about vocational qualifications).

Trainee’s must have at least 6 months practical scaffolding experience following the
successful completion of the Part 1 course before they can progress to the next
stage – Part 2 Scaffolder training. CISRS Accredited Centres are required to check
the individual holds a valid completion certificate or an updated CISRS Trainee Card
showing proof of Part 1 training before accepting a booking.
10
Trainees then attend a further 2 week Part 2 training course for tube and fitting at
an Accredited Centre (10 consecutive working days Monday to Friday). Trainees do
not have to use the same Accredited Centre as attended previously and may use
different Accredited Centres.
Note: A Trainee who has completed a Part 1 in tube and fitting is eligible to switch
to the System Scaffolding Route and complete the Part 2 System Scaffolder in a
particular system scaffolding product and vice versa. If this is the case the trainee
would be expected to gather work based evidence relevant to the type of Part 2
course they had attended e.g. tube and fitting or system.
Following the successfully completion of the Part 2 training for tube and fitting,
trainees will be issued with a CISRS completion certificate by the Approved Centre,
however they will not qualify to have their card upgraded and endorsed until the
Vocational Qualification Level 2 (VQ2) and relevant skills test has been completed.
The Accredited providers will notify the processing unit at Construction Skills of
successful completion.
Trainees who fail to demonstrate the required levels of experience skills and
New Entrant Trainees require a further 6 months site experience, gathering work
based evidence, before returning to an Accredited Centre to undertake a 1 Day
skills test and VQ2 Assessment. The skills test and VQ Assessment can take place
at weekends.
From January 2011 successful completion of the 1 day skills test and VQ
assessment is a mandatory element of the CISRS scheme. This is regardless of
whether the trainee has previously achieved his VQ via another route e.g. OSAT. A
CISRS card will not be issued to those who fail to successfully complete the 1 day
skills test and VQ assessment. If a candidate fails the skills test, they must resit at a
later date after gaining sufficient experience.
If an Adult Trainee already has the relevant experience and evidence to achieve
the VQ, then the assessment date may be brought forward at the discretion of the
training provider but only after seeking the agreement of the Scheme Manager. The
Training Provider must keep a brief report as a record of such instances, with any
supporting evidence (CV’s letters of reference etc) as this may need to be verified by
a CISRS Auditor.
As an alternative to completing the VQ portfolio of work based evidence Employers/
Sponsors can choose for Trainee’s to undertake the Experienced Worker Practical
Assessment (EWPA) route, this would negate the need to complete the 1 day skills
test for further information see section 5.2.
Trainees who cannot demonstrate the required work based evidence for VQ2 will be
referred back to their Employer / Sponsor for further practical experience.
11
Upon achievement of the VQ2, and providing they have a current Construction
Skills Health and Safety Test or equivalent, Trainees can now apply for the CISRS
Scaffolder Card (Tube and Fitting), and may be deemed a qualified Scaffolder.

approved training and assessment for Advanced Scaffolder (Tube and Fitting)
and vocational qualification level 3 (VQ3). CISRS training providers are required to
check a valid Scaffolder Card has been held for the required length of time before
accepting a booking.
Scaffolders attend a further 2 week Advanced Scaffolder training course at an
Accredited Centre (over 10 consecutive working days Monday to Friday).
Following the successful completion of the Advanced Scaffolder training for tube
and fitting, Scaffolders will be issued with a CISRS Completion certificate by the
Accredited Centre, however they will not qualify to have their card upgraded and
endorsed until the VQ3 has been achieved. The training providers will notify the data
management unit at Construction Skills of successful completion. Trainees who fail
to demonstrate the required levels of experience, skills and knowledge will fail the
course. They will be required to attend the 2 week course again once they have
gained sufficient experience if they wish to progress.
The operatives require a further 6 months practical experience gathering work

Currently the Advanced Scaffolder training and assessment scheme is only available
via the Tube and Fitting route. CISRS Advanced training and assessment for
systems scaffolders will be developed in the near future.
2.2 CISRS Scaffolder (System Scaffolding Route)
The CISRS scheme for training and assessment using proprietary system
scaffolding equipment was introduced in 2006. It is aimed at Scaffolders who
require formal training and assessment in the skills and knowledge for the use of
specific modular system scaffolding products (e.g. Cuplok). It follows the same
programme as the Tube and Fitting route and vocational qualification to level 2.
Existing CISRS record card holders can attend a CISRS 2 day System Scaffolding
Product Training Scheme (SSPTS) to have their card endorsed with a specific
CISRS recognised product. For more information about the 2 day System
Scaffolding Product Training Scheme see section 2.3.
You can also find more information on Scaffolder Apprenticeships in section 2.4.

New entrants into the scheme are classed as Trainee Scaffolders until they have
satisfactorily completed the all of approved training and assessment required to be
deemed a qualified System Scaffolder.
Once an employer or sponsor accepts an operative to be trained as a System
Scaffolder, they can apply for a standard CISRS Trainee Card; providing they have
completed the Construction Skills Health and Safety Tests or recognised equivalent
13
(see section 6.2 Construction Skills Health and Safety Tests and Equivalents). The
CISRS Trainee Card is then valid for 18 months from the date of issue, in which time
the Trainee must gain 6 months* practical experience using systems scaffolding and
attend a Part 1 training course for system scaffolding at an Accredited centre.
*An operative must have a minimum of 6 months practical on site experience prior
to attending Part 1 training.
Part 1 training courses are booked directly with an Accredited Centre. A list of
Accredited Centres who may offer the various system scaffolding training courses
can be found in Appendix I. The Part 1 training for a system scaffolding product is
held over 2 weeks (10 consecutive working days Monday to Friday).
Upon successful completion of the Part 1 training the Trainee will be issued with a
CISRS Completion Certificate and an application form to have their Trainee Card
endorsed with the Part 1 training for the specific system scaffolding product they
have been trained in. The training providers will notify the data management unit at
Construction Skills of successful completion.
Trainees who fail to demonstrate the required levels of experience, skills and
Trainee Scaffolders may now be registered for Vocational Qualification and start

CISRS Trainee Card showing proof of Part 1 training before accepting a booking.
Trainees then attend a further 2 week Part 2 training course for a specific system

Note: System Scaffolding Trainees who have completed their Part 1 System
Scaffolder training have the following options to progress to the Part 2 Training:
I.
Continue with the same system scaffolding product as the Part 1;
or,
II. Switch to a different recognised system scaffold product; or,
III. Switch to the Tube and Fitting route and enrol for a Tube and
Fitting Part 2 course.
The content of the Part 2 course and the VQ evidence will determine what the
CISRS card is endorsed with e.g. Cuplok or Kwikstage.
Following the successful completion of the Part 2 system training, Trainees will
be issued with a CISRS completion certificate by the Training Provider, however
they will not qualify to have their card upgraded and endorsed until the Vocational
Qualification Level 2 (VQ2) and relevant skills test has been completed. The training
providers will notify the data management unit of Construction Skills of successful

apply for the CISRS Scaffolder Card (System). The Card will be endorsed with the
name of the specific product for the training and assessment undertaken and may
be deemed a qualified Scaffolder for that specific product only.
For use of other recognised system scaffolding products, CISRS System
Scaffolders would need to attend a 2 Day System Scaffolding Product Training

S/NVQ Level 2
This 2 day System Scaffolding Product Training Scheme was introduced along with
the CISRS System Scaffolder scheme in recognition of the significant differences
between the various proprietary system scaffolding products covered by CISRS.
The aim of this scheme is to provide Scaffolders with skills and knowledge for safe
use in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
Only CISRS record card holders, who have achieved a minimum of Part 1 training
(in either Tube and Fitting or System) are eligible to attend these 2 day training
courses. If the operative has only completed Part 1 training they will still be classed
as a Trainee. They may use the specific system they have been trained in, but only
under the direct supervision of a CISRS qualified Scaffolder who also holds that
system endorsement.
A list of CISRS recognised products and the Accredited Training Centres offering
product specific training can be found in Appendix I.
Attendees who successfully complete the training and assessment can apply
to have their CISRS record card endorsed with the name of the specific system
scaffold product they have received training.
If an operative wishes to use a 2nd type or brand of a similar CISRS approved
systems product e.g. Cuplok and Genlok the employer will be required to ensure all
relevant product information is passed onto the operative and that the operative is
aware of any differences in product capability, erection procedure, tie patterns etc.
16
This only applies to products/manufacturers that have submitted all relevant
product information, proof of testing to European Standards, user guide, erection
and dismantling sequence etc. to CISRS for product recognition.
CISRS will produce documentation that highlights the differences in the similar
CISRS approved Systems Scaffolds.
2.4 Scaffolder Apprenticeships
The Scaffolder Apprenticeship programme is held over a minimum of 18 months at

2.5 Basic Access System Erector (BASE)
BASE (Basic Access Systems Erector) 5 day course
MR A SAMPLE
Expires End Jan 2009
H&S
TESTED
The aim of this 5 day training course is to provide accredited training for nonscaffolders who erect, alter and dismantle very basic and routine scaffolding
structures using specific modular system scaffolding. It is aimed at tradesman such
as bricklayers or maintenance operatives who have the need to construct their own
temporary access.
The course is held over 5 consecutive working days (Monday to Friday).
The aim of this scheme is to provide operatives with limited skills and knowledge
for safe use in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions within restricted
conditions and environments.
BASE Card Holders are only permitted to construct basic scaffold
structures up to a maximum height of 6m and must not work in an
environment with a general public interface.
Upon successful completion of the training the Trainee will be issued with a BASE
Completion Certificate and an application form to apply for a BASE record card
for the specific system scaffolding product they have been trained in. They will be
required to hold a current Construction Skills Health & Safety test or equivalent.
The Accredited Centre will notify the data management unit at Construction Skills
of successful completion.
Once an operative has held a BASE card for a 3 year period they could be eligible
to attend a CISRS Systems Scaffold Part 2 course. This would be dependent
upon having the relevant experience. The Part 2 course would need to be carried
out using the same product e.g. Cuplok they had completed the BASE course in.
Upon successful completion of a Part 2 Systems course, 1day Skills test and VQ
assessment and CSkills H&S test they could apply for a System Scaffolders Card.

Please Note: A Basic Access Systems Erector is not a qualified Scaffolder
and as such is prohibited from carrying out any scaffolding operations
outside the limitations of their training course.

Section 4 – Scaffold Inspection Training Scheme (SITS
4. Scaffold Inspection Training Scheme (SITS)
In order to provide a nationally recognised training qualification CISRS developed two
new scaffold inspection qualifications, Basic and Advanced Scaffold Inspection were
launched in May 2010. After an initial 6 month period a review of comments from
Approved Training providers and course delegates was considered and the pertinent
suggestions were incorporated into the SITS scheme. Version 2 is to be launched early
in 2011.
4.1 Scaffold Inspection Training Scheme (Basic)
The Basic Scaffold Inspection training will be delivered by Accredited Centres over
2 consecutive days. It will be aimed at anyone who is responsible for carrying out
statutory scaffold inspections in accordance with the Work at Height Regulations
2005 and scaffolders wishing to expand their knowledge of scaffold inspection.
Delegates may include employees from outside of the scaffolding industry such as
Site Managers and Agents, Site Engineers, Health and Safety Professionals etc. The
course will cover basic scaffolding structures and the fundamental requirements for
safe and legally compliant scaffolding.
The Basic SITS course will include the following:
l
l
l

Practical Inspection and Report Writing Assessment
Theory test
The delegate will be required to successfully complete both the practical inspection
and report writing assessment as well as the Theory test in order to pass the
course.
4.2 Scaffold Inspection Training Scheme (Advanced)
The 2 day Advanced Scaffold Inspection training will cover both basic and more
complex scaffolding structures. It will be aimed at professional Scaffold Inspectors,
Scaffolding Supervision and Management and others who would be responsible for
statutory scaffold inspection for more complex structures. To be eligible applicants
would need to have extensive scaffolding industry experience and have previously
attended the Basic Scaffold Inspection training course. CISRS Scaffolders providing
they have held their card for a minimum of 2 years and Advanced card holders will
be eligible to attend this course without having to initially attend the SITS (Basic)
course
CISRS and NASC deem CISRS Scaffolders and Advanced Scaffolders competent
to inspect scaffold structures based upon the grade of card they hold. i.e. A CISRS
Scaffolder can inspect Basic Structures Independents, towers birdcages etc (this
list is not exhaustive) and an CISRS Advanced Scaffolder can inspect both Basic
and more complex structures Hanging Scaffolds, temporary roofs, complex design
work (this list is not exhaustive).
Scaffold Inspection Refresher training will be introduced by CISRS in 2012, both
CISRS Scaffolder and Advanced card holders will be required to attend the
refresher, prior to renewing their CISRS cards if they wish to remain eligible to
inspect scaffolds in the future.

Section 5 – Vocational Qualification
5. Vocational Qualification
CISRS is committed to vocational qualifications (VQ). Where applicable training
and assessment under the record scheme supports the achievement of National
Vocational Qualifications NVQ Diploma in Accessing Operations and Rigging
(Construction) (QCF) for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, or Scottish
Vocational Qualifications (SVQ) in Scotland. For convenience the abbreviations
NVQ and SVQ are referred to in this information booklet simply as VQ.
Trainees for Scaffolder training and assessment must be registered for VQ. This is
completed through the CISRS Accredited Centres. Registration usually takes place
when the Trainee attends the CISRS Part 2 course.
The VQ’s currently applicable under CISRS are:
Level 1 Accessing Operations and Rigging
Level 2 Accessing Operations and Rigging – Scaffolding
Level 3 Accessing Operations and Rigging – Scaffolding
Labourers Card
Scaffolder
Advanced Scaffolder
Every VQ level has a number of Units that must be achieved. A summary of the VQ
levels and the units required can be found in Appendix G.
The CISRS Accredited Centres are also registered VQ assessment centres.
Please note a VQ alone does not entitle an operative to a CISRS Scaffolder
or Advanced Scaffolder card. The applicant must meet all of the CISRS
scheme requirements which would include CISRS Part 1, 2, Level 2 VQ
plus a current CSkills H&S test for a CISRS Scaffolder card and CISRS Part
1, 2, Advanced, Level 2, Level 3 VQ plus a current CSkills H&S test for an
Advanced Card.
There is also a requirement for a 2 day skills test and VQ 3 assessment for those
wanting to qualify as an Advanced Scaffolder. The skills test and VQ Assessment
can take place on a weekend.
5.1 Work Based Evidence
VQ programmes followed under CISRS are based on the philosophy of train,
gain experience, gather evidence of that experience and then be assessed for
competence.
Trainees are required to compile a portfolio of work based evidence for assessment
against the relevant VQ level. Accredited Centres provide information and advice for
Trainees in gathering work based evidence and assessing the evidence against the
VQ requirements.
27
Section 5 – Vocational Qualification
The onus of gathering evidence and completing the portfolio is with the Trainee.
Employers/Sponsors should assist and support Trainees by checking portfolios,
offering encouragement and planning work to allow trainees to gain the appropriate
work experience required.
Trainees are assessed against the VQ at each stage of the Scaffolder training. It is
a requirement of CISRS that the majority of evidence presented must be aligned
with the training carried out, for example when gathering evidence for the Tube and
Fitting route the portfolio must have examples of works the Trainee has carried out
in Tube and Fitting rather than Systems Scaffold.
5.2 Experienced Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA)
As an alternative to completing VQ portfolios for level 2, Trainees can undertake a
practical assessment and interview, at a participating Accredited Centre. This is the
Experience Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA), where Trainees attend a 2 day
practical assessment to prove they have the skills and knowledge to be deemed
competent.
The successful completion of EWPA would negate the requirement of attendance
and successful completion of the CISRS skills test and VQ assessment.
If the operative fails the EWPA they will be advised by the centre of alternative
methods available for completing their VQ.
To be eligible for EWPA a Trainee must have had a minimum period of 12 months
practical experience after completing their CISRS Part 2 training.
EWPA is only currently available for VQ Level 2.
5.3 On-Site Assessment and Training (OSAT)
Some operatives may choose to achieve their VQ qualification via the OSAT route.
Please note that this route is not offered by a lot of the CISRS Accredited Centres.
Achievement of VQ via OSAT does not negate the requirement of attendance and
successful completion of the CISRS skills test and VQ assessment.
Section 6 – Record Cards
6. Record Cards
To comply with CISRS, an employer/sponsor must be satisfied that an operative is
suitably qualified by training and experience to be employed on given scaffolding
operations. The level of CISRS training and assessment completed determines the
grade of CISRS card issued.
The record card bears the operative’s name, unique record number and photograph.
Record cards will state the category of the scaffolder (Trainee, Scaffolder or Advanced).
The CISRS cards are also embossed with the CSCS logo and the Health and Safety Test
Hologram. Each card will also show an expiry date.
The rear of the card will show the route by which the card holder qualified for his CISRS
status. It will also show any systems scaffold endorsements he may have achieved.
A CISRS Record Card is evidence of satisfactory completion of industry approved
training and assessment.

they have been trained in, but only under the direct supervision of a CISRS qualified
Scaffolder who also holds that system endorsement.
If an operative wishes to use a 2nd type or brand of a similar CISRS approved systems
product e.g. Cuplok and Genlok the employer will be required to ensure all relevant
product information is passed onto the operative and that the operative is aware of any
differences in product capability, erection procedure, tie patterns etc.
This only applies to products/manufacturers that have submitted all relevant product
information, proof of testing to European Standards, user guide, erection and dismantling
sequence etc. to CISRS for product recognition.
CISRS will produce documentation that highlights the differences in the similar CISRS
approved Systems Scaffolds.
