J A Access Marks One Year of RISQS Accreditation
Our scaffolding division, J A Access, has reached an important milestone – celebrating one year of RISQS accreditation. This achievement reflects the team’s capability to support UK rail projects safely, efficiently, and in line with strict industry requirements.
What RISQS Accreditation Means
RISQS (Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme) is the recognised qualification system for suppliers to the UK rail industry.
Accreditation demonstrates that a business:
- Meets rail-specific safety and compliance standards
- Has appropriate management systems in place
- Can support rail projects with the right processes, training, and governance
For J A Access, it confirms that our scaffolding services are suitable for use on rail-related works, giving rail clients an additional layer of assurance.
How J A Access Supports Rail Projects
With RISQS accreditation, J A Access is equipped to provide safe, compliant access solutions on a range of rail-associated schemes, including:
- Station refurbishments and upgrades
- Bridge and structure works
- Asset inspections and maintenance access
- Works near operational rail environments
The team brings over five decades of combined experience in scaffolding, paired with modern design, planning, and safety management. That combination helps rail clients move quickly while remaining compliant.
Safety, Speed, and Professionalism
In the newsletter, we highlighted that J A Access supports UK rail projects with speed, compliance, and professionalism.
In practice, that looks like:
- Carefully designed access systems tailored to complex environments
- Clear risk assessments and method statements
- Well-briefed, competent operatives on site
- Close coordination with principal contractors and other trades
The result is access that supports the programme rather than slowing it down.
Building on the First Year
One year of RISQS accreditation is an important marker, and it’s also a starting point. J A Access will keep building its track record in the rail sector, supporting more projects while maintaining the standards that secured accreditation in the first place.
