scaffold safety training
Virtual instructor-led Training
OSHA Compliance Reference: 29 CFR 1926.454
An estimated 2.3 million construction workers, or 65 percent of the construction industry, work on scaffolds. Protecting these workers from scaffold-related accidents may prevent some of the 4,500 injuries and over 60 deaths every year. All of these accidents can be controlled by compliance with OSHA standards and frequent safety training.
This 8-hour virtual instructor-led training course provides the necessary safety information to remind workers the importance of working safely in and around scaffolding. We will cover the regulatory overview and hazards surrounding the erection, operations, and dismantling of scaffolding.
This course suffices for a 1-day competent person level classroom certification training. The practical training and supervision should be performed at the jobsite. We can come out and conduct the necessary hands-on training to fulfill the competent person certification training at an additional cost.
