Course Introduction:

An estimated 2.3 million construction workers, or 65 percent of the construction industry, work on scaffolds frequently. Protecting these workers from scaffold-related accidents would prevent 4,500 injuries and 50 deaths every year, at a savings for American employers of $90 million in workdays not lost.

Unsafe scaffolding procedures can cause accidents, serious injuries and even death. Accidents involving scaffolding mainly involve:

workers falling
incorrect operating procedures
environmental conditions
falling materials

This course discusses the general requirements of scaffold safety as well as the components, erection, use and dismantling of supported and suspended scaffolds. It details more specific guidelines for safely erecting, using, and dismantling each type of scaffold. It also describes important guidelines for conducting safety inspections of supported and suspended scaffolds.

Course Objectives:

Upon completion of the course the student should be able to:

Describe the scaffold members and fittings used in scaffold construction.
Explain the terms used in scaffold construction.
List the common causes of accident from working with scaffolding.
Outline the format of a scaffold inspection.
Perform a scaffold inspection.
Practical build, inspect and disassemble a scaffold in a safe way (Erection & Inspection).

Compile a scaffold inspection report, a remedial report and be fully confident in the use of the Scafftag© System.
To provide delegates with theoretical and practical guidance on the safe use and construction of tube and coupling scaffolds, and the inspection of said scaffolds. Pre-fabricated aluminum scaffolds can be included in this training, provided the training can be conducted on site, with aluminum scaffolding provided by the client.
