Scaffold Safety Awareness
30 Minutes
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to give you a basic understanding of scaffold safety in the workplace. Scaffold safety is vital because working at height can be one of the most dangerous tasks on a job site. The rules and guidelines you will learn come directly from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, which sets national standards for safe scaffold use. The main construction regulations you need to know are found in 29 CFR 1926 Subpart L – Scaffolds, with specific requirements detailed in sections 1926.451 for general requirements and 1926.454 for training standards. In General Industry workplaces, scaffold activities are also regulated under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart L – Scaffolds when employees work on or around supported or suspended scaffolds.
This course provides awareness-level training for a scaffold user. It introduces key scaffold safety concepts, helps you recognize critical hazards, and clarifies your responsibilities.
