Both TSDA and KTEA bring extensive technical expertise, strong national representation and a shared commitment to advancing safe and innovative scaffolding practices. Their participation enhances IASA’s role as a global platform for knowledge exchange, regulatory alignment, and the harmonisation of training and competency standards worldwide.
