Demand for scaffolding training at present is very high. It’s even beginning to exceed supply with CITB-Construction Skills.

A scaffolding company that fails to comply with legislation could cost them dearly. Especially in the case of a fatality where there is no evidence of scaffolding training.

It is important to undergo the hands on portion of scaffolding training which is required by OSHA to demonstrate competency.

A fall protection and scaffolding training course will enable you to understand the requirements and responsibilities required by OSHA.

Scaffolding tubes can be used horizontally, vertically and diagonally using a variety of clamps including swivel clams.

Whether you erect scaffolding, or run a business that rents scaffolding, make sure you purchase the insurance programs and coverages that will suit the needs and risks of your business.

Jobs such as removing or installing guttering, installing replacement windows, painting or demolition work should usually be carried out from independent scaffolding or mobile access equipment.

Ensure that all mobile scaffolding platforms are tightly planked.

Make sure that all workers are aware of the new ‘fall zone’ when moving portable scaffolding.

Scaffolding systems that are correctly designed will have work levels which are decked with regulation sized planks and have appropriate access for workers.
