CISRS aims to ensure that operatives erecting, altering or dismantling scaffolds are properly trained and have sufficient experience to carry out work safely and correctly. The scheme, which is the industry-recognised qualification, has been in existence for over 30 years and is affiliated to the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS). At present, there are over 27,000 scaffolders registered with CISRS. CISRS issues record cards to operatives who have satisfactorily completed the required training, gained appropriate experience, achieved the relevant NVQ/SVQ and passed the industry recognised Construction Skills (CSkills) Health and Safety test.
Please note Neither CISRS certificates of training or S/NVQ Access and Rigging Operations Levels 2 and 3 are recongised as a stand alone qualification. An operative must meet all the requisite CISRS criteria before being deemed competent.

CISRS Labourers Card In order to obtain a Labourers card, the operative will have needed to:
Pass the CSkills Health and Safety Test
Complete the CISRS Labourers Application/Employer Endorsement Form
The Labourers Card lasts for 5 years. The card can be renewed by completing the CSkills H&S test.
Back to top CISRS Trainee Scaffolder Card In order to obtain a Trainee Record Card, the operative will have needed to:
Complete the CISRS Trainee Application/Employer Endorsement Form
Since November 2006 initial CISRS Trainee cards last for a period of 18 months. Within this time an operative must commence CISRS training and complete as a minimum the CISRS Part 1 course.
When the initial card expires providing the operative has completed CISRS Part 1 training they can renew their Trainee card for a further 18-month period. This will allow them sufficient time to complete CISRS Part 2 training and Level 2 N/SVQ.
Back to top CISRS Scaffolder Card
In order to obtain a CISRS Scaffolder Card, the operative will have needed to:
Completed CISRS Part 1 and Part 2 courses, or have completed Assessed Route of Entry course at an Accredited Centre
(Note the Assessed Route of Entry for Experienced workers was withdrawn in June 2006)
Achieved an NVQ/SVQ Level 2 in Scaffolding (when training started after 01 September 1996)
Completed a CSkills H&S test
CISRS Scaffolder cards have a five-year expiry date and can be renewed by completing the CSkills H&S test.
This category was previously known as a “Basic” Scaffolder.
Back to top CISRS Advanced Scaffolder Card In order to obtain an Advanced Scaffolding Card, the operative will have needed to:
Completed CISRS Part 1, Part 2 and Advanced Scaffolding course at an Accredited Centre; or Complete an Assessed Route of Entry course at an Accredited Centre
Achieved an NVQ/SVQ Level 3 in Scaffolding (when training started after 01 September 1996)
CISRS Advanced cards have a five-year expiry date and can be renewed by completing the CSkills H&S test.
Back to top Systems Scaffolding
CISRS Part 1 and 2 courses can now be undertaken in prefabricated systems scaffolding. The route to qualification for a new entrant would mirror the tube and fitting route as outlined above.
CISRS Scaffolders (tube and fitting) can undertake 2-day product system familiarisation courses. These are product specific and once completed can be shown as an endorsement on the back of the CISRS card.
This is a relatively recent development to the scheme and currently system card numbers are low. However it should not prevent the client asking the scaffolding contractors to prove competency in the systems they are using.
Back to top CISRS Supervisors Card In order to obtain a Supervisors card, the applicant will have needed to:
Completed the CISRS 5 day Supervisory Course
Completed the CSkills Supervisory Health and Safety test
Back to top Scaffold Inspection CISRS are in the process of developing a formally recognised Inspection course for both Scaffolders and non-scaffolders, which will be in place by January 2009.
As there are currently no industry regulated inspection courses in place the NASC recommends that CISRS qualified scaffolders are competent to inspect scaffolds up to the grade of the card they hold. i.e. CISRS Scaffolders can inspect Basic structures e.g. independents, birdcages, towers etc and Advanced Scaffolders can inspect both Basic and Advanced works such as suspended scaffolds, temporary roofs, shoring work etc.
It may be considered pertinent to request that a Scaffolder does not inspect his own work.
Many inspection courses are on offer and have been completed by non scaffolders over the years, if you have one of your own employees who is going to inspect scaffolding on your behalf you may want to consider, the course duration, content, date of delivery, who delivered the course, the employees knowledge and experience of Scaffolding etc before deeming them competent to carry out the task.
