ESITS is a huge step forward for the industry. Hopefully we will stop seeing work at height trained staff building scaffolds. ESITS cards only for demountable structures!

Great to have ESITS providing specialised training! It's vital to equip staff with the necessary skills in any industry... but especially in event management where safety and precision are key for building demountable structures.
