Scaffolding Erection, Dismantling and Inspection Training

Here are some key elements that will be covered in such training:

• Legal Requirements and Standards: Overview of relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards related to scaffolding, including local building codes and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requirements.
• Types of Scaffolding: Introduction to various types of scaffolding systems commonly used, such as supported scaffolds, suspended scaffolds, and mobile access towers.
• Scaffold Components: Identification and explanation of different components that make up a scaffold, including tubes, couplers, boards, guardrails, and base plates.
• Erection and Dismantling Procedures: Step-by-step guidance on safe erection and dismantling processes, including proper sequence, bracing, tying, and stability checks.
• Load Capacity and Weight Distribution: Understanding the maximum load capacity of the scaffold and how to distribute the weight evenly to maintain stability.
• Fall Protection: Training on the use of personal fall arrest systems and guardrails to prevent falls from elevated heights.
• Inspection and Maintenance: Techniques for regular scaffold inspections to identify defects, damage, or wear and the importance of reporting issues promptly.
• Risk Assessment: How to conduct a risk assessment before starting work on the scaffold, taking into account potential hazards and control measures.
