A new scaffolding award has been launched by the National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC). The Scaffolding Product Innovation Award aims to draw recognition and celebrate the best innovations in scaffolding materials and products from leading suppliers.
NASC said the process for award submissions will be revealed this month on their website, as well as across social media and e-shots.
The first ceremony is set to be held on 25 November in Amsterdam. It will then be held every two years.
Deciding who wins the awards will be an independent panel of leading access and scaffolding experts in the UK.
Chair of the NASC Hire, Sale & Manufacturing Committee, TRAD Group MD, Des Moore, said: “The scaffolding industry is constantly evolving, and product-based hire, sale and manufacturing member companies are at the forefront of driving these changes.
“As such, we felt it was time to recognise this and champion those companies and individuals who are creating products that make the industry a safer place to work in.”
NASC managing director Robin James also commented, stating: “This is a new and worthy award to complement the existing biennial NASC Health & Safety award, and to encourage best practice in the access and scaffolding industry.
“We look forward to getting this new award off the ground at the AGM this year and receiving innovative entries from across the membership for independent judgement and recognition.”
