Scaffolds: Suspended Scaffolding Safety

Proper safety procedures must be followed to avoid serious injury when working above the ground. Before a worker uses suspended scaffolding, he/she must be trained on OSHA rules and safety procedures. Use this online training course to enforce the procedures every worker must know to safely work on suspended scaffolding.

Through this online course, workers learn the correct 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. This course discusses the different suspension devices, as well as the importance of guardrails and personal fall arrest systems (PFAs). Your employees will learn the 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.

Protection is a top priority when working with suspended scaffolding. Use this course to enforce the importance of safety procedures and awareness when using this type of scaffold.
