A Bureau of Labor Statistics study found that 72% of workers injured in scaffold accidents attributed the accident either to the planking or support giving way, or to the employee slipping or being struck by a falling object. All of these hazards can be controlled by compliance with the OSHA standard for scaffolding, 29 CFR 1926.451, which is outlined in this course. If you work, or plan to work, in or around scaffolds and at heights, this scaffold course provides an excellent introduction to how to perform this type of work safely. The Scaffold Awareness Safety Course teaches appropriate scaffold construction methods, including erecting, moving, or altering scaffolds properly, and protecting against falling objects or tools. The course also covers ensuring stable access on scaffolds, identifying scaffold-related hazards, and understanding inspection and fall protection requirements.
