32-Hour Supported Scaffold Installer & Remover.

Description:

The 32-Hour Supported Scaffold Installer/Remover (SCA-102) course is a comprehensive training program designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to safely install and remove supported scaffolds in the construction industry. This course focuses specifically on the responsibilities and techniques involved in the installation and removal of supported scaffolding systems.

During the course, participants will learn about the different types of supported scaffolds, their components, and their applications. They will gain an understanding of the importance of proper scaffold assembly, inspection, and dismantling to ensure stability and prevent accidents.

The training will cover topics such as scaffold safety regulations, hazard identification, fall protection, proper assembly techniques, securing methods, rigging procedures, platform requirements, and load capacities. Participants will also learn about communication, coordination, and safe work practices when installing or removing supported scaffolds.

Through a combination of informative presentations, discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on activities, participants will develop the skills to install and remove supported scaffolds safely. The course will emphasize practical techniques, industry best practices, and compliance with relevant safety standards and regulations.

The 32-Hour Supported Scaffold Installer/Remover course is suitable for construction workers, supervisors, and individuals involved in the installation and removal of supported scaffolds in their work. It is particularly beneficial for scaffold installers, scaffold erectors, and those responsible for coordinating and overseeing scaffold installations and removals.
