1. Membership
ISI membership is granted to the scaffolding professional named in this application, or to the company that applies in its own name. It cannot be transferred, lent or shared.
2. True statements
The applicant confirms that the cards, certificates and experience declared are genuine and in date, and agrees that ISI may check them with the issuing schemes and employers. A false declaration is a ground for refusing or cancelling the membership without refund.
3. Safe scaffolding practice
Members erect, alter and dismantle scaffolds to the design or the recognised standard configuration, never remove ties, guardrails or boards from a scaffold in use, stay clipped on where a fall is possible, and tag a scaffold that is incomplete or unsafe.
4. Not a scaffolder card
Membership recognises training and professional standing. It is not a trade card or a licence to erect or inspect scaffolding where the law or the client requires one.
5. Term and fees
Membership runs for the period paid for, from the day it is activated. Fees are payable in advance and are not refundable once the certificate has been issued. A membership that is not renewed by its last day lapses.
6. Certificate and verification
The membership certificate remains the property of ISI and can be checked by anyone on the ISI verification portal, which shows the member name, country, number and validity.
7. Suspension
ISI may suspend or cancel a membership for breach of these terms, for an unsafe act that put people at risk, or for misuse of the ISI name. The member may reply in writing within 14 days.
8. Personal data
ISI keeps the information of this application to assess it, to manage the membership and to contact the member. It is not sold or shared for marketing.
