Posted: Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025
The National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC), the UK’s leading trade body for the access and scaffolding industry, and the Scaffolding Association Australia (SAA) have announced a strategic partnership to strengthen international ties in the scaffolding industry. The agreement marks a significant milestone in the global scaffolding and access industry, paving the way for enhanced safety standards, shared knowledge and greater international collaboration. This MoU establishes a strong working relationship between the two organisations designed to create mutually beneficial opportunities across the sector. The partnership will focus on the following key area including: sharing knowledge of training and educational best practice in the countries of UK and Australia and sharing knowledge of the testing processes of scaffold and access equipment to the improved safety of the users and industry. In addition, the partnership will pay attention to sharing and best practice on how to support the industry in the delivery of efficient and risk reduced scaffolding and access structures and mutual recognition of the membership standards and educational standards for each country. By joining forces, NASC and SAA will be better placed to lead the industry with purpose, strength and a shared vision of safety and efficiency. Clive Dickin, CEO, NASC, said: “This is another major milestone in the establishment of a global access and scaffolding sector working to uniformly high standards of safety and compliance. We want all scaffolders, regardless of where they work in the world, to benefit from the same protections and standards.” Robert Thiess, national chair and managing director, SAA, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled about this agreement and see it as a big step towards better and safer standards of scaffolding around the world. We look forward to working with our partners at NASC and elsewhere to enhance global standards.”
