Scaffolding for General Industry - Online Training Course

Overview

Working on the limited space of a scaffold is difficult. Falls from scaffolds can result in injuries ranging from sprains and bruises to death. OSHA requires scaffolds to be constructed and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions; so, employees must have scaffolding safety training on both OSHA and the manufacturer’s requirements.
