Online Scaffolding User Course – Safe Use of Scaffolding
Learn about the safe use of scaffolding, pre-use inspections, safe access, and reporting nonconformities. This course is designed for workers who will be working on scaffolding without assembling or modifying it.
Take the theory course online—get familiar with the scaffolding at work
Before using the scaffolding, your employer must ensure that the scaffolding in question is inspected. A person with the necessary expertise will show you the access points, load limits, signage, and what to do if any defects are found. This course covers the use of scaffolding. Assembly, modification, and disassembly require separate training.
A qualified colleague or business partner can conduct the on-site briefing. You must understand how to use the scaffolding safely before work begins. User training does not include the same set number of hands-on training hours as training for scaffolders.
✅ Legal Basis
Section 17-5 of the Regulations on the Performance of Work requires that users of scaffolding receive training in safe use and inspection.
