Scaffolding

Two levels of scaffold training are available: awareness/authorized worker and competent person. At both levels, the participants will be introduced to the types of scaffolding available for use; hazard identification, prevention, and control; OSHA standards for guardrails and toe boards; access to scaffolding; and other considerations specific to the type of scaffolding that will be used in their workplace or job site operations.

The competent person level will also include discussions of inspection, erection, and disassembly of scaffolding, stabilizing and anchoring scaffolding, environmental hazards, and other responsibilities of the competent person.
