Advanced Fall Protection and Scaffolding Safety Training

Introduction

This Course Is Intended to Provide Training in the Basic Concepts and Techniques of Scaffolding Safety. Principally “Supported Scaffold.” It Offers an Overview of the Safeguarding Issues and an Assortment of Solutions in Popular Use. No Course Could Keep Pace With All Possible Solutions or Attempt to Depict Them All. Manufacturer Guide-lines and Consultation With Contractors, Architects, Engineers, and Other Field Experts May Be Necessary for Many Circumstances to Ensure Employees Are Properly Safeguarded. Know Your Individual State Requirements.

This OSHA Fall protection part training helps the delegates recognize the hazards of falling and the steps required to minimize these hazards. This training part gives added reinforcement for the need to have proven safe operating procedures (including the need for site-specific policies, i.e. fall rescue plan, etc.) and the necessary equipment to accomplish a safe and efficient operation. The course also exposes delegates to new equipment technology and equipment options for different situations that may be encountered on the job.

Do you remember building giant structures with erector sets, putting together any pieces of metal and then piling all your other toys on them to see how much they could hold? With our Scaffold Safety training program, you won't wonder about your portable scaffolding capacity. Learn ways to construct safe platforms, safely access scaffolding, and provide fall protection. Safely put together a truly giant structure from sound footings to the-offs, to scaffold platforms.

You'll learn how to protect workers below from falling objects and even how to safely use rolling scaffolding. Be prepared to erect scaffolding, safely work on or around scaffolding, or supervise its use. You might not be able to build a massive helli-train-o-tractor-o-copter with construction scaffolding, but you can build and work safely with scaffolding education from our Scaffold Safety program.

• Supporting Audio/Video Aids. 
• Student Discussion/Interaction.
• Field Discussion of Scaffolding Equipment.
• Field Evaluation of Your Performance

Why This Training Is Essential To Your Safety At Work:

• Reduction of Injury and Illness Rates.
• Daily Exposure to Fall Hazards by Thousands of Workers.
• Efficiency Can Be Greatly Improved.
• OSHA Safety Standards Require:
• Establishment of a “Safety” Program.
• Training Be Conducted.
• Job Hazards Be Assessed.
• Hazards and Precautions Be Explained

Objectives

On completion of this course you should be able to:

• Apply knowledge on scaffolding safety in the workplace
• Learn in a systematic manner designed to get you up to speed on the subject matter in a short period of time
• Define OSHA and identify its competence and qualifications
• Identify scaffold capacity, platform construction, and scaffold access
• Discuss methods of fall protection and explain the hazards of falling objects and building scaffold footings
• Identify scaffold the-offs and mobile scaffolds
• Introduce The Scaffolding Safety Program
• Establish The Programs Role.
• Discuss The Components Of An Effective Program.
• Introduce Ideas To Help Develop An Effective Program.
• Introduce Basic Skills In The Recognition Of Scaffolding Hazards.
• Introduce Basic Skills In The Control Of Scaffolding Hazards

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed as an introductory, awareness-level course, for any worker who will be working in or around scaffolding. In most cases, this will pertain to the construction or maintenance of buildings, but can also include any type of work being done at height, where the worker will need an elevated, flat surface

• Site Workers.
• Site Managers.
• Safety Committees.
• First-Line Supervisors.
• Accident Investigation Team Members.
• Employees Working on or Near Scaffolds
