COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using the following practical methods: -
(1)
Industrial Facility Visit: Course participants will be taken to an industrial facility where they will practice scaffold inspection and working at height procedures. In case this course is organized inside client premises (In-House), the client shall provide access to its scaffolding structures and height-access equipment for practical sessions.
(2)
Tekla Simulator: Participants will use in the class our state-of-the-art “Tekla Structures Simulator” to practice some of the skills learnt.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview on Scaffold Inspection and Working at Heights. It covers the risks, statistics and the importance of safety in high-altitude operations; the different types of scaffolding and components that make up scaffolding structures; the fundamentals of load calculations, weight distribution and load capacity; the scaffolding regulations and standards; the procedures and best practices for safely erecting and dismantling scaffolding; the best practices for safely transporting and handling tools and materials on scaffolding; and inspecting various types of scaffolds, focusing on welds, corrosion and structural integrity.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the common scaffolding hazards; documenting findings and report issues during inspections; the non-destructive testing (NDT) methods and risk assessment for working at heights; the environmental factors affecting scaffolding safety and worker stability at heights; the routine checks and maintenance for height safety equipment to ensure reliability; the human factors and promoting a safety culture among workers at heights; and conducting safety audits and ensuring compliance with height safety regulations.
