Who is this class for?
This class is geared to train anyone who works around or inspects scaffolds.
Why do I need scaffold inspection training?
The student will be able to inspect the scaffold members, connections, guardrail systems, gates, ladders, footing and decking. The student will be able to determine minimum OSHA standards for scaffolds and raise awareness for scaffold safety.
What does the 1 day class entail?
At the beginning of the class, we hand out scaffold inspector and user manuals. A PowerPoint presentation covers the following information:
This course covers 1926 subpart L.
- Design criteria, maximum intended load capacity and intended uses of different types of scaffolding.
- Safeguarding scaffold systems against forces of wind and weather.
- Nature of electrical hazards, fall protection and falling object hazards.
- Correct procedures for identifying and eliminating hazards in the general area.
- Correct procedures for inspecting, approving or disapproving scaffold use.
- Other requirements of OSHA 1926 subpart L.
What happens if a person is working on or around scaffolding without proper training?
The untrained worker is at risk of possible injury as well as putting the scaffold rescue team at risk in the event that a rescue must be performed.
Where can Safety Connection perform the class?
Anywhere you would like. We can perform the class at your location, or ours, in Baton Rouge, LA.
What will be needed if we come to your location?
All we need is a classroom, table, a screen to apply the PowerPoint presentation, people and a place to exercise scaffold inspection.
