FASET (Fall Arrest Safety Equipment Training), the leading trade association and training body for the safety netting and temporary safety systems industry, is delighted to announce reaching the milestone of issuing its 1,000th Digital FASET card, a CSCS Alliance recognised card scheme.
The CSCS Alliance is the voice of the 38 card schemes displaying the CSCS logo and means that individuals holding these cards, such as the FASET card, operate with nationally recognised qualifications in place for its occupations and are therefore able to perform their duties on UK construction sites.
This achievement underscores FASET's commitment, and the industry as a whole, to enhancing safety and professionalism within the construction sector, particularly for those working at heights.
Tony Seddon, Managing Director of FASET, expressed his pride in this achievement, stating:
"The issuance of the 1000th FASET card is not just a number; it represents the industry's acknowledgment of the essential expertise required to work safely at height. This card is a testament to the holder's in-depth understanding and proficiency in temporary safety systems, a critical component of construction site safety."
