Course overview
Scaffolding is a temporary, field-erected structure used for working aloft. Because it is temporary and field erected, it is subject to wear and abuse, improper assembly, and unauthorized changes, Construction standards require a "competent person" inspect scaffolds for defects before every work shift. Yet, in all industries, every employee who works on o around scaffolding should be aware of safety requirements. The Scaffolding Safety training course identifies the responsibilities of those employees who work on or near scaffolding to assemble, maintain, and operate all scaffolding systems. It also explains compliance with safety requirements. This course satisfies the training requirements for OSHA standard 29 CFR 1926.454. This course is part of the Scaffolding Safety training series.
