According to Clive Dickin, the CEO of the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC), clients should be responsible for covering the additional costs incurred by scaffolders due to the measures outlined in the Building Safety Act. While the act itself has minimal direct impact on scaffolders, the more stringent rules may require clients or main contractors to update their designs more frequently, which would affect subcontractors. Dickin emphasizes that if multiple scaffold designs are needed due to the iterative processes of the Building Safety Act, the scaffolding contractors should not be penalized and the additional costs should be borne by the client.
