NASC 2017 Health & Safety Awards presented at NASC AGM
The biennial NASC Health & Safety Awards were presented by Karren Brady CBE, business woman, football director, and star of TV’s The Apprentice, and Des Moore, the newly appointed NASC President, and CEO of the TRAD Group, in front of a packed audience of members and guests attending the NASC AGM at the Intercontinental Park Lane, London on Friday 24 November 2017. The awards are a well-established part of the NASC calendar and are highly-prized. Contracting members of all types and sizes are urged to submit entries for the awards, and this year, in order to encourage more smaller organisations to enter, the award was split into two categories, 1-66 Employees and 67+ Employees. A total of nine entries were submitted across both categories. The 2017 requirement was for entrants to answer seven searching questions by providing responses of no more than 250 words in each instance, supported by evidence. Due to the success of the biennial NASC Health & Safety Award, it was felt that this award should be run every year, showing the construction industry at large more regularly that NASC Member Contractors set a high standard of health and safety within the scaffold industry. Awards Presented to: 1-66 Employees Winner Malvern Scaffolding Ltd Highly Commended Complete Access (Scaffolding) Ltd (Wakefield) 67+ Employees Winner Actavo (UK) Ltd Highly Commended Trad Southern Highly Commended Wood Group Industrial Services Ltd
Founded in 1945, the NASC and its 240+ full members set the standard in scaffolding safety in the UK. Few trade associations can claim to have achieved so much. The NASC produces industry guidance that is accepted as a benchmark for the scaffolding sector and is supported by HSE, Build UK, CITB & CISRS. For example, TG20:13 Good Practice Guide for Tube & Fitting Scaffolding & SG4:15 Preventing Falls in Scaffolding Operations. For a current list of NASC guidance, visit:
