Safe Access Scaffolding Basics

Our Safe Access Scaffolding Basics training course has been designed for those with an occupational requirement to be trained to safely undertake work activities that involve scaffolding.

This Safe Access Scaffolding Basics course is for any employee who may be expected to complete work-related tasks that involve assembling, altering, dismantling, movement, repair, maintenance, inspection and use of industrial scaffold.

We will achieve this through discussion and by participating in skills practice and performance evaluation.
