Competent Person / Scaffold Builder / Inspector

Our most popular scaffold program is the “Competent Person/Scaffold Builder/Inspector” Course

The types of scaffolding that is covered in this course include fabricated frame scaffolds, tube & clamp, system scaffolds, and mobile (rolling tower) scaffolds. This course meets the training requirements of 1926.454(b). It covers the hazards associated with scaffold use such as fall hazards, falling object hazards, electrical hazards, material handling, and scaffold load carrying capacities (for frame, tube & clamp, and system scaffold). The course takes approximately eight hours to conduct, including testing. Each participant receives a 250-page training manual. This training program is approved through the Scaffold Training Institute of Houston, Texas. The scaffold user part of this course does not cover as much material, and it doesn't take as long.
