Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. Scaffolding is widely used during construction and maintenance activities. In its simplest form, a scaffold is any temporary elevated or suspended work surface used to support manpower, equipment and/or materials. The construction industry gives rise to very intensive use of scaffolds. 65% of the construction manpower are regularly involved in the use of scaffolds and other elevated work platforms. These scaffolds are moved and/or dismantled more frequently and are used under more adverse conditions. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of scaffolding inspection. It covers the basic scaffolding functions, definitions and terminology; the various types of scaffolds and proper inspection on ties, bracings, anchors, tube and boards; the fitting of scaffolding components and practical inspection of scaffold; the scaffolding faults and hazards, safety ladder access and egress; the use of scaffolding tagging system and the safety requirements in line with local and international regulation in scaffolding inspection.
