Whenever a worker leaves the ground, the danger of an accident taking place drastically increases. With more than 10,000 scaffold related accidental injuries recorded each and every year, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has required that every worker be trained concerning how to safely erect and employ scaffolding equipment. This course will help employers meet the safety training requirements of OSHA’s Scaffolding regulations. The safety training guides workers on how to be aware of the perils associated with working with scaffolds and in what way these potential risks can be lowered by learning how to assemble maintain and use scaffold platforms.
