Scaffold Safety training is essential for any worker who installs, uses, or works near scaffolding systems on construction sites. Falls, collapses, and falling objects from scaffolds are common causes of injury and fatality in the trades, and most jurisdictions mandate scaffold safety education as part of workplace compliance.
This awareness-level course provides clear instruction on scaffold types, setup best practices, safe access, fall protection integration, inspection routines, and legal responsibilities under OHSA and CSA standards.
Course modules cover:
– Types of scaffolds: frame, rolling, suspended, system
– Load capacity, height restrictions, and footing requirements
– Guardrails, toe boards, and access ladders
– Daily inspection checklists and hazard recognition
– Working on or near scaffolds safely
– Weather-related risks and scaffold stability
Participants will also gain insight into their roles as workers, supervisors, or competent persons in scaffold assembly and use. This training is ideal for both new and experienced construction professionals who require a refresher or formal orientation.
A certificate is issued upon successful course completion, which may be required on union jobsites, COR-certified projects, or by site safety coordinators.
