Prevent Falls, Avoid Fines & Protect Your Team with Expert-Led Scaffolding Safety Training.
Our Scaffolding Safety Training program is designed to help workers and supervisors prevent injuries, stay compliant with OSHA's Scaffold Standard (29 CFR 1926.454), and safely operate around elevated platforms. Whether assembling, using, or dismantling scaffolds, this course delivers the critical knowledge needed to reduce risk on the job.
Falls from scaffolding remain one of the top causes of workplace injuries. Our training covers everything from fall protection and load capacity to scaffold inspections, hazard recognition, and proper worksite communication.
Why Scaffolding Safety Matters
Although scaffolding dates back thousands of years, modern safety regulations weren't established until 1996 with OSHA's Subpart L. A tragic 2012 incident involving scaffold collapse led to three fatalities, reinforcing the need for consistent, quality training.
Since OSHA's scaffolding safety rules were adopted, scaffold-related fatalities have dropped by over 65%. But training remains the first and most effective way to keep workers safe at height.
