Course Description

Falls from scaffolds causing disabilities and fatal injuries is the most common hazard to constructions workers. According to OSHA, about 72% of scaffold accidents were due to one of the following causes: planking or support slipped or gave way, employee slipped or fell when struck by a falling object, and no guardrail installed. Each state has its own regulations and standards. It is important that work crews maintain and use scaffolds in a safe manner. This program is designed to review the basics of scaffolds with emphasis on safety procedures.
