About National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC)
NASC is the UK's leading trade body for scaffolding and access in the UK.
Established in 1945, it now serves a membership of over 800 leading contracting firms, scaffolding suppliers, manufacturers and the buyers of scaffolding and access solutions. Nearly 80 years after it launched, raising and maintaining safety standards remains at the heart of NASC’s objectives, driving every activity it undertakes.
NASC operates with a clear governance framework that separates strategic oversight from day-to-day operations and management. This helps ensure transparency, accountability, and consistency in how the organisation supports its members and the wider industry. At the highest level, NASC is governed by an elected Board. The Board sets the strategic direction of the organisation and ensures it acts in the best interests of its members and the whole industry. Operational delivery is handled by a professional executive team who are responsible for implementing the Board’s strategy and managing NASC’s services, staff and finances.
Our NASC shop is filled with our safety guidelines such as TG30; members and non- members have access to in order to create a safe and effective working environment.

The NASC Safety Report is where we publish all of our members' safety stats for the year – with key stage analysis.
The 2023 NASC Safety Report revealed the lowest Accident Incident Rate (AIR) & Accident Frequency Rate (AFR) since we began tracking data in 1975 – even with a 10% year-on-year rise in scaffolders surveyed, totaling 17,315 operatives – proving regulated, audited membership makes for safer scaffolding.
The report is a must-read for anyone in the scaffolding sector: https://lnkd.in/evFmaTiq

NASC has today released a technical update to TG20:21, updating the guidance in line with current practices with baseplates. The update confirms the position on baseplate thickness for scaffolding and access systems across the UK.
The technical update is being made available to NASC members only and will shortly be available on the NASC ePortal. It confirms the correct use of 2mm, 3mm and 5mm baseplates in various situations. This is following professional testing by an accredited test centre.

In response to your questions, NASC brings clarity on PAYE rules within our membership charter, effective Nov 23.
Our revised charter emphasises quality scaffolding over how members pay operatives. We've removed the PAYE requirement to allow greater flexibility while ensuring all operatives meet our standards.

The NASC’s updated and expanded scaffolding compliance software is now on sale.
Through the TG20:21 eGuide, users can produce a wide range of standard scaffolding structures in a matter of minutes, without the need for bespoke design.
The latest version builds upon TG20:13, retaining its user-friendly look and feel, but includes a number of revisions to make the process of producing compliant scaffolding – in accordance with the European standard BS EN 12811 – even simpler and a wider range of scaffolding types to make the software even more useful.
These additions include exterior birdcages, tube and fitting mobile towers, tube and fitting loading bays without beams and tied independent scaffolds with three inside boards.
TG20 compliance sheets are now be double-sided with an illustration and principal compliance criteria on the front side and detailed compliance criteria listed on the reverse in landscape format.
Users can access TG20:21 – and the associated and updated Operational and Design guides – via a link from the NASC website using a unique serial number and login credentials.
The software is available on an annual subscription basis, costing NASC members £75 per eGuide per year and non-members £300 per eGuide subscription per year. To ensure the transition for existing users from TG20:13 to TG20:21 is as fair as possible, there is a short period of free use of the new software.
NASC President Lynn Way said: “We’re delighted to launch TG20:21. We’ve been working on this update for a number of years now and I’d like to thank every single person that has played a part in its creation.
“We’re confident that users of TG20:21 will recognise how we’ve taken the best parts of TG20:13, made it much better and easier to use but also kept the original mission statement in the front of our minds – creating a tool that scaffolding contractors can use to produce compliant layouts for day-to-day scaffolding and ensure their scaffolding projects are safe and conform to legal requirements.”
TG20:21 will be supported by a comprehensive maintenance and development agreement, ensuring updates and improvements are made on a regular basis.
