What is Scaffolding Training?
Scaffolding Training is an essential safety course designed to equip workers with the skills and knowledge required to safely assemble, use, and dismantle scaffolds. OSHA mandates scaffold safety training under 29 CFR 1926.454 to prevent falls, structural collapses, and workplace injuries.
Improper scaffolding practices are one of the leading causes of workplace injuries. This training ensures workers understand scaffold load capacities, fall protection, and hazard mitigation techniques.
The History & Importance of Scaffolding Safety
Scaffolding has been used for over 17,000 years, with evidence of wooden scaffolds found in prehistoric cave paintings. However, it wasn't until 1996 that OSHA introduced strict scaffold safety regulations under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart L.
One tragic incident in 2012 highlighted the importance of proper scaffolding safety when three workers lost their lives due to a scaffold collapse caused by overloading and improper assembly. Since the enforcement of scaffold training, workplace injuries have decreased by 65%.
