Scaffolding is an integral part of most industries like construction, repair and maintenance. To make sure that the field crews involved working at elevated levels are safe at their jobs, proper scaffolding is a must. Equipping awareness to the workers helps in avoiding workplace accidents and supports in effectively delivering tasks that reduce risks and related costs.
This Certified Scaffolding Supervisor improves expertise in scaffolding operations for a range of industries. This course enables participants to have the necessary skills and engineering solutions in scaffolding. This includes best practices for scaffold construction, erection, modification, dismantling and sustaining safety and stability. Learners will also obtain proficiency in safe scaffold access, identifying hazards, fall protection and complying with industry guidelines and business standards.
The course comprises four core units with every unit dealing with essential aspects of scaffold erection and structural integrity.
Part 1: Fundamentals of Scaffolding
