We are members of the NASC, Investors in people, CITB registered and CSCS gold
status with all employees having a
CSCS card of experience.
All employees are SG4 trained, CISRS and CSCS registered and all are 'employed only' status. We do not sub contract labour. This philosophy we believe helps our employees to achieve the quality and consistency of service without cutting corners.
Approximately 1/3 of staff are trained to advanced standard, 40% are part 2 standard and all others are part 1 and actively working towards part 2 being part of the NASC we adopt the relevant NVQ.
In addition to this, we have 16 appointed first aiders and fully trained CSCS supervisors who are all advanced scaffolders, confined spaces trained, P.T.S. trained and ariel lifting platform trained.
Connolly Scaffolding has an apprentice policy, we employ new recruits every year, who learn on the job and
attend college for their NVQ. We attempt to 'grow our own wood'
for the future of the company.
