Our Scaffolding Safety Training is designed to provide general information and guidelines to employees involved in erecting, disassembling, moving, operating, repairing, maintaining, or inspecting scaffolds in compliance with OSHA’s Scaffolding Regulations as codified in 29 CFR 1926.451.
Scaffolding is a temporary structure used in many industries for performing work operations at elevated levels. While scaffolding is a common method used for working at heights; incorrect use, design, and other engineering faults can result in worker injuries and fatalities due to falls from heights, falling objects, electrocution, or collapsed scaffolds.
As per OSHA regulations, employers must ensure that each employee who performs work on a scaffold be trained by a person qualified to recognize the hazards associated with the type of scaffold being used and to understand the procedures to control or minimize those hazards.

Course Content
The core objective of the Scaffolding Safety Training course is to provide a basic understanding of OSHA’s scaffolding regulations 29 CFR 1926.451. The course will also examine the hazards associated with working on or around scaffolding and the general requirements for the safe use of these elevated work platforms.
Course Objectives
After course completion the learner will be able to:
- Define a scaffold and its two basic types;
- List the hazards associated with the use of scaffolding on a worksite;
- Outline OSHA specifications pertaining to scaffold load capacity;
- Summarize the four important considerations for scaffold planking;
- Explain the general and specific requirements for construction of scaffold platforms;
- Discuss the training requirements for users, erectors, and dismantlers of scaffolds;
- Discuss OSHA standards for maintaining a safe distance between scaffolding and overhead power lines; and
- Summarize OSHA regulations relating to fall protection and falling object protection for employees working on or around scaffolds.
This course is designed by OSHA Certified Outreach Trainers and is updated and reviewed as soon as new requirements or regulations are issued by OSHA and other regulatory agencies. The course meets and exceeds the compliance requirements of OSHA’s Scaffolding Regulations as codified in 29 CFR 1926.451.
Certification
Once the course is completed, you will immediately be able to download, save, or print your Course Completion Certificate in PDF format. Hard copy and plastic wallet card certificates will arrive in U.S. mail within 2-3 weeks.
Training Requirements
There are no prerequisites for this course.
A Final Note
It is important to remember that attending a training course on its own will not make a worker competent. Competence is developed over time by implementing the knowledge acquired through a training course to on-the-job work processes. Therefore, in addition to this online course it is important that you receive additional on-site training from your employer.

- Scaffolds are temporary structures built at elevated levels for performing work operations well-above ground level. While scaffolding is used in many industries for working at heights, it is most popularly used in the construction industry. When scaffolds are incorrectly used, designed, or have other engineering faults, this can result in worker injuries and fatalities caused by falling from heights, falling objects, electrocution, or collapsed scaffolds. As such, workers require to be trained to recognize the hazards associated with the type of scaffold being used and to understand the procedures to control or minimize the hazards associated both with scaffolding and working at heights while carrying out their job tasks.
- All our courses are designed to take a specific amount of time. However, some students may get through the course more quickly, while others may take longer to complete their training. This course will take around 2 hours to complete.
- This course is designed to provide general information and guidelines to employees involved in erecting, dismantling, moving, operating, repairing, maintaining, or inspecting scaffolds in the construction industry.
- Safety professionals, project managers, foremen, scaffolding supervisors, and other personnel who work on scaffolds and want to know more about scaffolding safety would also benefit from this course.
- This course meets and exceeds the compliance requirements of OSHA’s Scaffolding Standard for the Construction Industry, 29 CFR 1926 Subpart L.
- This training program provides a basic understanding of OSHA’s scaffolding regulations as cited in 29 CFR 1926.451.
- The course also examines the hazards associated with working on or around scaffolding and the general requirements for the safe use of these elevated work platforms.
- The training requirements for users, erectors, and dismantlers of scaffolds is also covered.
- No there are no prerequisites for this course.
