The Scaffolding Training for Construction course provides workers and supervisors with the essential knowledge to work safely with scaffolding in line with HSE guidance and the Work at Height Regulations 2005. Scaffolding is a high-risk activity in construction, and this training explains how to identify hazards, carry out inspections, and follow safe erection, alteration, and dismantling procedures.
Learners will understand the roles and responsibilities of scaffolders, site managers, and workers who use scaffolding, as well as the importance of using fall protection, access systems, and regular checks to prevent accidents. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to work more safely at height, reduce risks, and help ensure scaffolding operations are carried out to industry standards.
