Course Details

Course Goals

The purpose of this Course is to provide scaffold erectors and inspectors with the regulations, safety guidelines and procedures needed to recognize potential erection defects, improper structuring and eliminate erection hazards. Satisfactory achievement of the course will assist you in satisfying the OSHA training requirements as defined in 29

CFR 1926.454. The Course is certified from Scaffold Training Institute STI-USA .

Course Duration: 3 days

Program Objective

After the Successful completion of this course you will be able to:

• Specify the General Requirements for the erection and inspection of Frame, Tube & Clamp and System scaffolding.
• Determine the Specific Safety Rules and Steps associated with the erection of Frame, Tube & Clamp and System scaffolding.
• Identify the Major Items to consider when performing a Scaffold Inspection.
• Specify the Major Elements of OSHA’s Regulation 29 CFR Subpart L – Scaffolding.

Who will attend?

This course is targeting candidates who are likely to supervise, erect or inspect scaffold erection operations as a part of their course of work.

What you’ll learn:

OSHA construction industry regulation 29 CFR 1926.450-454 and general industry regulation 29 CFR 1910.28-29 require employers to provide training so that all employees who work with scaffolds acquire the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary to perform this work safely. They also require a “Scaffold inspector” to ensure scaffolds are erected properly and worked on safely. OSHA defines a competent person as “one who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.” This program provides the skill set necessary for a scaffold inspector.

Course Purpose

his course covers 1926 subpart L and 1910 subpart D.

• Hazards related to scaffold erection and use, access, and egress.
• Design criteria, maximum intended load-carrying capacity, and intended use of different types of scaffold.
• Safeguarding scaffold systems against forces of wind and weather.
• Nature of electrical hazards, fall hazards, and falling object hazards.
• Correct   procedures   for   erecting,   maintaining,   and   disassembling   fall protection systems and falling object protection systems.
• Correct procedures for erecting, disassembling, moving, operating, repairing, inspecting and maintaining specific types of scaffolds.
• Correct procedures for identifying and eliminating general area hazards.
• Training and re-training requirements for scaffold users.
• Other requirements of Subparts L and D.
