CISRS training in India

UK scaffolding training provider Safety & Access has formed a joint venture with the UG group and opened a CISRS accredited training centre in Chennai, India.

The new training centre will provide tube and fitting, system scaffolding and scaffold inspection training for South India. Following an independent audit carried out by CISRS scheme manager Dave Mosley, the centre has been granted accreditation for training in CISRS Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 Overseas Scaffolder Training Scheme, basic Scaffold Inspection Training Scheme, Scaffolding Supervisor Training and CUPLOK Systems Scaffold Product Training courses.

Rick Statham Safety & Access joint managing director said: “We have been working with our partners on this project for the last year and we are delighted that we have now reached our aim of CISRS accreditation here in Chennai. The availability of scaffolder training in India will be a huge boost for our clients and Indian nationals that seek formal qualifications in scaffolding. There is also a big interest from our clients in the Middle East that look to India for their labour.”
