Our mission is to promote and maintain high safety standards in the industry, providing essential guidance recognised as the industry standard.

Nearly 80 years later, raising and maintaining safety standards remains at the heart of the NASC’s objectives – driving every activity it undertakes.

This includes the production of a wide range of industry-recognised safety and technical guidance, created to support the needs of scaffolding contractors, their operatives and clients, and accepted as the industry standard by HSE, Build UK, CITB and principal contractors alike.

The same approach is extended to new membership applications, with a stringent set of criteria in place to ensure that the highest working practices are maintained.

NASC now has over 800 members. representing over 80% of the UK’s scaffolding spend, exceeding £2 billion annually.

With an extensive network of members, including scaffolding contractors, manufacturers, and suppliers, NASC serves as a vital resource for industry expertise and collaboration.

As NASC continues to expand its membership and influence across Scotland, we remain steadfast in our strategy to elevate the scaffolding and access industry. We invite industry professionals to join us in this journey toward excellence, collaboration, and innovation.
