The Scaffold Inspection and Supervision
Training is designed to equip professionals with essential knowledge and
skills necessary to safely supervise and inspect scaffolds in accordance with
local and international standards. Scaffolding is a critical component of
construction and maintenance activities, and ensuring its integrity is
essential to safeguard workers at height. This course will provide participants
with the ability to conduct scaffold inspections, ensure compliance with safety
regulations, and supervise scaffold erection and dismantling processes to
prevent accidents.
The training blends theoretical knowledge
with hands-on practice, allowing participants to become proficient in scaffold
inspection techniques, risk assessment, hazard control, and supervisory skills.
It is essential for anyone involved in the erection, use, or maintenance of
scaffolds in construction, oil and gas, and other industries where working at
height is required.
