Approved Scaffold Contractor (ASC)

Independent Assessment for Approved Scaffold Contractor (ASC) Requirements

The Approved Scaffold Contractor (ASC) scheme is part of Singapore’s Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) framework, aimed at ensuring that scaffold contractors possess the capability, systems, and controls to carry out scaffolding works safely and competently.

CCIS provides independent assessment and audit services to support scaffold contractors seeking approval or maintaining compliance under the ASC requirements.

What Is the Approved Scaffold Contractor (ASC)?

The ASC scheme is designed to:

• Improve safety standards in scaffolding works
• Ensure scaffold contractors have adequate management systems, competencies, and controls
• Reduce scaffold‑related incidents and accidents at workplaces

Under this scheme, scaffold contractors are required to demonstrate that they have effective systems and processes in place to manage scaffolding risks and comply with Workplace Safety and Health requirements.

When Is ASC Required?

ASC assessment may be required when:

• A scaffold contractor is applying for Approved Scaffold Contractor status
• An organisation is required to maintain or renew ASC recognition
• There is a need to demonstrate compliance with WSH requirements related to scaffolding works
• An independent assessment of scaffolding management systems is required

Independent assessment helps ensure that safety controls are not only documented, but properly implemented and maintained.

At CCIS, we adopt a structured and objective assessment approach, focusing on both:
