SCAFFOLDING TRAINING COURSES
Here at Scaffold Safety, we offer training specifically designed for duty holders, managers and inspectors of the scaffold structure.
In view of recent scaffold related incidents onsite, and workplace established expectations, there has never been a more appropriate time to upskill your team.
Our course provides PCBUs a level of competence within their staff, when inspecting and maintaining the scaffold structure onsite. Management can be confident in the visual confirmation of critical scaffold components and their layout, when receiving the appropriate the Handover Certificate.
