Scaffold Training

The course aims to provide the delegates the skill and knowledge to understand what a safe scaffold is and why scaffolding erection must be done safely, and to train the delegates in the correct techniques to erect/dismantle and inspect various types of scaffolds found in their workplace. Based on International and national safety standards, the course aims to enlighten the delegates about reasonably practicable methodologies applicable to industry. The course covers both the theoretical training as well as practical assessment.
