Basic Scaffolding

Basic Scaffolding is offered by Poshe Solutions. Scaffolding is a temporary structure that is used in construction projects to support workers and materials during the construction process.

Benefits of Basic Scaffolding training

Here are some key safety considerations to keep in mind when working with scaffolding:

• Properly train workers: All workers who will be working on or around the scaffold should receive proper training on how to safely use the equipment. This includes how to properly erect and dismantle the scaffold, how to use personal protective equipment (PPE), and how to work safely at heights.

• Inspect scaffolding before use: Scaffolding should be inspected by a qualified person before each use to ensure that it is in good condition, properly erected, and free from defects. Any defects or issues should be addressed before the scaffold is used.

• Use proper PPE: Workers who are working on or around the scaffold should wear proper PPE, such as hard hats, safety glasses, and non-slip shoes. Fall protection equipment, such as harnesses and lanyards, should also be used when working at heights.

• Follow weight limits: Scaffolding has weight limits that must be followed to ensure that it remains stable and safe. This includes the weight of workers, tools, and materials. Exceeding weight limits can cause the scaffold to collapse or tip over.

• Secure the scaffold: Scaffolding should be properly secured to prevent it from shifting or tipping over. This includes using base plates, tie-downs, and guardrails to provide stability and prevent falls.

• Properly dismantle scaffolding: Scaffolding should be properly dismantled when it is no longer needed. This includes following proper procedures for disassembling the scaffold and ensuring that workers are not at risk of falling or being struck by falling debris.
