The Scaffolding Association has become a corporate supporter of Building a Safer Future.
The membership organisation’s specific focus on competence and ensuring companies have the right skills and resources to carry out contracts safely, is complemented by BSF’s competence review that makes up part of the BSF Champion assessment.
The BSF Champion assessment gives companies detailed insight into their existing leadership and culture around building safety. It equips them with actionable data and practical tools to help review and upgrade processes, driving meaningful and measurable improvement in leadership and culture around building safety.

Building a Safer Future’s commitment to driving positive building safety culture change has been recognised by the Scaffolding Association with its new corporate supporter status. Association members are encouraged to consider becoming a Registered Signatory of the BSF Charter, and to embark upon the BSF Champion assessment.
Robert Candy, chief executive and founder of the Scaffolding Association, commented: “We are delighted to be working with Building a Safer Future as a corporate supporter and a signatory of the BSF Charter.
“As the UK’s largest independent not-for-profit trade association for the scaffolding and access sector, our ethos directly aligns with BSF. We have made considerable progress with our strategic campaign to raise health and safety standards, improve the levels of competence and promote the importance of pre-planning any projects within this sector. Our independent audit process for members reflects this.”
Gary Townsend Vila, interim chief executive of BSF, added: “We welcome the Scaffolding Association as a corporate supporter, and are looking forward to developing our relationship further to support companies in their building safety journeys. Our shared goals are key in helping organisations to meet their requirements, ensuring that risk profiles are reduced across the industry.”
