OSHA requires scaffolds and scaffold components shall be inspected for visible defects by a competent person before each work shift, and after any occurrence which could affect a scaffold's structural integrity.
This one-day class is designed to prepare the designated competent person to be knowledgeable about the structural integrity of scaffolds and the degree of maintenance needed to maintain them and to evaluate the effects of occurrences such as a dropped load, or a truck backing into a support leg that could damage a scaffold.
This training will include a Hands-On demonstration.
By the end of the training the student will be able to:
· Identify scaffold components, existing and predictable hazards, and corrective actions
· Identify and explain OSHA requirements
· Describe proper procedures for scaffold assembly, disassembly, and inspection
· Advise on safe work practices for assembling and disassembling scaffolds
· Evaluate scaffold systems for compliance with OSHA and ANSI standards
· Develop a corrective action plan to address identified hazards and ensure compliance
