                                                              June 2008 Trainer Class

What course do we recommend?

For those who need training in frame, tube & coupler, and system scaffolds (and other supported), the three one day modules are recommended. For those who need an overview of suspended scaffolds in addition to frame, tube & coupler, and system scaffolds, the Four Day course is recommended.

What is the minimum to cover the mandatory OSHA training requirements?

The topics OSHA recommends in 1926.454 and Appendix D are covered in the first module- our Basic "Competent Person/Scaffold Builder" course (one day).

How much "hands-on" training is required by OSHA? 

OSHA does not mandate a specific amount. The hands on should be custom tailored for each company according to the employees’ experience, types of scaffolds to be used, and scope of anticipated work. The are 25 different types of scaffolds covered by 1926.452, so the training should be specific to the type used. For example, one employer might have experienced workers who erect only frame scaffolds up to three levels, then call a scaffold company to erect larger scaffolds. The amount of hands on training should reflect that limited scope. Another employer might use frame, tube & clamp, and system on larger scaffolds. The amount of hands on should then reflect that scope. Call to discuss.

What is the 8 hour "Personal Fall Arrest Systems" course? 

OSHA requires training for all users of personal fall arrest systems. This course covers the use of harnesses, lanyards, and anchorages. Various manufacturers’ equipment is discussed, as well as applicable portions of Subpart M.

What is the OSHA 10 hour?

OSHA, through the OSHA Training Institute, offers a 10 hour and 30 hour safety course on the regulations. Instructors must be OSHA authorized and have attended Trainer courses. These courses cover a variety of OSHA topics such as an Introduction to OSHA, electrical safety, fire safety, hazcom, fall protection, ladders, cranes, rigging, etc. The 10 hour is an excellent introduction to jobsite safety requirements and is recommended for all industrial and construction workers. Billfold card from Department of Labor is issued. 
 
 

OSHA§ 1926.454 Training Requirements.

This section supplements and clarifies the requirements of § 1926.21(b)(2) as these relate to the hazards of work on scaffolds. 

(a) The employer shall have each employee who performs work while on a scaffold trained by a person qualified in the subject matter to recognize the hazards associated with the type of scaffold being used and to understand the procedures to control or minimize those hazards. The training shall include the following areas, as applicable: 

(1) The nature of any electrical hazards, fall hazards and falling object hazards in the work area; 

(2) The correct procedures for dealing with electrical hazards and for erecting, maintaining, and disassembling the fall protection systems and falling object protection systems being used; 

(3) The proper use of the scaffold, and the proper handling of materials on the scaffold; 

(4) The maximum intended load and the load-carrying capacities of the scaffolds used; and 

(5) Any other pertinent requirements of this subpart. 

(b) The employer shall have each employee who is involved in erecting, disassembling, moving, operating, repairing, maintaining, or inspecting a scaffold trained by a competent person to recognize any hazards associated with the work in question. The training shall include the following topics, as applicable:

(1) The nature of scaffold hazards; 

(2) The correct procedures for erecting, disassembling, moving, operating, repairing, inspecting, and maintaining the type of scaffold in question; 

(3) The design criteria, maximum intended load-carrying capacity and intended use of the scaffold; 

(4) Any other pertinent requirements of this subpart. 

(c) When the employer has reason to believe that an employee lacks the skill or understanding needed for safe work involving the erection, use or dismantling of scaffolds, the employer shall retrain each such employee so that the requisite proficiency is regained. Retraining is required in at least the following situations: 

(1) Where changes at the worksite present a hazard about which an employee has not been previously trained; or 

(2) Where changes in the types of scaffolds, fall protection, falling object protection, or other equipment present a hazard about which an employee has not been previously trained; or 

(3) Where inadequacies in an affected employee’s work involving scaffolds indicate that the employee has not retained the requisite proficiency.
