BASIC SCAFFOLDING INSPECTION TRAINING

Scaffolds are used widely at every stage of construction to provide safe and stable working platform for workers to perform their assigned task and to keep limited materials for use at height. Numerous fatal injuries and fatalities reported every year due to falling from height and most of them are scaffold workrelated accidents. The work at height requires employers to ensure that no one can be engaged in any activities related to work equipment or working at height unless they are well trained to do so. Basic scaffolding inspection training is required to ensure that the erected scaffold is safe and stable enough to allow workers to perform their assigned job at height.

IHSM provides basic scaffolding inspection training and certification to minimize the risk of accidents for all categories of scaffolds. The training imparted and the knowledge gained will help ensure to perform the task of a competent scaffolding inspector.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

The basic scaffolding inspection training teaches the employees who are responsible for ensuring that the scaffoldsare erected following the safety and quality according to the current standards. The main objective of the basic scaffolding inspection training is to provide the aspirants with both practical and theoretical knowledge to enable inspecting, erecting, using, and dismantling scaffoldings with standard scaffolding guidelines.

LEARNING OUTCOME OF BASIC SCAFFOLDING INSPECTION

After completion of the basic scaffolding inspection training the participant will be familiar with the:

• Procedures of scaffolding inspection
• Relevant Regulations and Codes of Practice
• How to carry out a scaffold Inspection
• Types of scaffolds
• Components of scaffolds such as tubes, fittings, boards, couplers, etc.
• Bracing and tying of scaffolds
• Safe access and egress to work platform
• Fall arrest system
• Scaffold tagging systems
• Ground condition of the scaffold structure.
• Capacity of the scaffold work platform

BENEFITS OF BASIC SCAFFOLDING INSPECTION

The advantage of this training is that the participants will understand the dangers of scaffold work and how to minimize the risk by supervising and inspecting the scaffold structure during erection, use and dismantling. A scaffold is considered to be unsafe until it is inspected and tagged by a competent scaffold inspector.

WHO CAN ATTEND THIS TRAINING?

The basic scaffolding inspection training is useful for the responsible persons like site manager, HSE professionals, site supervisors, operatives, and for those who are responsible to inspect scaffolds and keep records.
