Scaffolds: Suspended Scaffolding Safety

Safety is critical when working above the ground. To keep people aware of the importance of safety, OSHA has developed regulations for working on suspended scaffolds. To work on suspended scaffolding safely, all workers have to follow certain procedures and undergo thorough training. Use this training course to enforce the importance of safety procedures and awareness when using this type of scaffold.

This training course includes proper techniques for scaffold assembly and disassembly, correct scaffold use and placement, how to handle materials while working on the scaffold, and fall prevention and protection. Employees learn how to recognize hazards before and during scaffold use to prevent injury. By viewing this course, your employees will understand safe work practices, such as: inspecting the scaffold and its components before each use, keeping the scaffold free of debris, and taking caution when reaching a work area. This course also discusses the different suspension devices used, and the importance of guardrails and personal fall arrest systems (PFAs) mandatory for working on suspended scaffolding.

Before a worker uses suspended scaffolding, he/she must be trained on the relevant rules and safety procedures. Use this online training course to enforce the procedures every worker should know to safely work on a suspended scaffold.
