ASC Edinburgh Ltd Accreditations

We believe that health and safety are paramount in everything we do, and in every project, we strive to ensure the health, safety and welfare of our employees and others who may be affected by our actions. We do this by keeping our company health and safety matrix up to date, ensuring that all our employees reach the highest standard of training and experience. We also urge our scaffolders to report any potentially uncontrolled hazards, unsafe acts, unsafe conditions or non-compliances. Thanks to the active engagement from all our staff, we have a high standard of safety in the workplace.

Some of the organisations and schemes we’re proud to be members of and accredited by include:

• NASC – The National Access and Scaffolding Confederation is the trade body for access and scaffolding in the UK. They provide a wide range of industry-recognised safety and technical guidance for scaffolding contractors, their operatives and their clients, accepted as the industry standard by HSE, Build UK, CITB and principle contractors alike.
• CHAS – The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme was created by a team of experienced health and safety professionals in 1997 to improve health and safety standards across the UK. Their Health and Safety legislation was created to simplify health and safety contractor assessments by standardising requirements and to allow companies to avoid undergoing health and safety assessments for every job.
• SAFE Contractor – The Safe Contractor scheme is an SSIP-approved health and safety assessment scheme for contractors who want to demonstrate that they’re taking responsibility for their legal health and safety requirements.
• Constructionline
• ISO 45001 Accreditation – This accreditation shows our attention to employee safety, reducing workplace risks and creating better, safer working conditions.

When working on scaffolding, we appreciate that many of the commercial developments we work on will be in dense, built-up areas, where health and safety procedures are vital and of the utmost importance. As we set up and erect your commercial scaffolding, we will also include security fencing and barrier systems to ensure public safety, as well as prevent noise pollution from the works and rubbish chutes for safely disposing of waste when working from height.

We also ensure that our commercial scaffolders are completely trained to the CISRS industry recognised standards and are fully trained in safe working at height, manual handling, risk assessments and correct incident reporting.

We also carry out regular external and internal audits on our commercial scaffolding practices to ensure that we are achieving and maintaining our high safety goals and targets.
