OSHA Scaffold Training
Protect your employees from scaffolding accidents and comply with OSHA requirements by teaching them how to work safely on scaffolds.
What is OSHA Scaffold Training?
OSHA Scaffold Training is a required training for employees working on or around scaffolding. It’s designed to arm employees with the knowledge and practical use of scaffolding equipment and the proper methods of staying compliant. An estimated 2.3 million construction workers, or 65% of the construction industry, work on scaffolds on a regular basis. Protecting these workers from scaffold-related accidents would prevent 4,500 injuries and 60 deaths each year, at a savings for American employers of 90 million dollars in workdays not lost.
