Supported Scaffolding Safety

Whenever a worker leaves the ground, the risk of an accident occurring increases dramatically. With more than 10,000 scaffold related injuries reported each year, OSHA has mandated that workers be trained on how to safely erect and use these work platforms. These products will help employers meet the training requirements of OSHA's Scaffolding regulation.

TPC Training Systems' training products on "Supported Scaffolding Safety" help employees understand the dangers of working with scaffolds, and how these risks can be minimized by knowing the correct ways to erect, maintain and use scaffolding equipment. Topics covered in these products include:

• Responsibilities of a "scaffold expert".
• Creating a level and stable foundation.
• Platforms and planking.
• The danger of power lines.
• Ramps and walkways.
• Platform hazards.
• Personal fall arrest systems.
• Guarding against falling objects.
• and more!
