This training will focus on supported scaffolds and provide important information to keep workers safe. Over 2 million workers frequently use scaffolding in the construction field and statistics show that injuries from scaffolding accidents reach 4,500 or more per year and deaths that occur from accidents average more than 60 per year.

We bring our program to your facility customizing it as needed for your erectors/dismantlers and end-users.

OSHA requires specific training for these employees per 29 CFR 1926.450-454. All pertinent training information, including dates, subject matter covered, names and times, should be documented and kept on file in the location decided upon by your employer.
