Scaffolding

Based on the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) construction industry regulation 29 CFR 1926.450-454 and general industry regulation 29 CFR 1910.28-29 require employers to provide training so that all employees who work with scaffolds acquire the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary to perform this work safely. They also require a “competent person” to ensure scaffolds are erected properly and worked on safely. OSHA defines a competent person as “one who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.” This program provides the skill set necessary for a scaffold competent person.
