Course Overview
The Safe Scaffold Erection and Inspection course provided by the American Institute of Safety Professionals (AMIOSP) focuses on scaffold design and construction, and safety requirements per OSHA Standard §1926.451. Thid course assures the learner knowledge of the stability, strength and safety of scaffolds in construction and industrial use.

The program explains the significance of qualified design, appropriate connections, counterweights and suspension ropes which must have load ratios to keep a structure from tipping and collapsing. The learner will understand scaffold platform construction which includes full planking or decking between uprights and guardrail supports, and closed gaps to minimize falls. The course focuses on competent persons which includes the inspection and supervision of scaffolds, assuring the safety of OSHA regulations and identifying use hazards prior to construction. Compliance guidelines and practical examples will provide the learner the necessary skills to safely erect, inspect and maintain scaffolding systems. When participants complete this training, they will know how to assess scaffold integrity, manage and assess scaffold loads, and incorporate safety measures to protect workers when scaffolds are being erected, used, or dismantled. This training will minimize risk during scaffold operations and help since workers will know the regulatory requirements.
