OSHA Scaffolding Requirements - International Equip.

OSHA Safety Training for Scaffolding

According to OSHA compliance guidelines, employers must provide adequate training for their workers who use scaffolding equipment. The general training requirements include:

• Users: Employees who perform work activities on scaffolding must receive equipment-specific training from a qualified individual. The training should entail the proper use of the scaffold and how to recognize potential hazards.
• Erectors and disassemblers: Employees involved in constructing, disassembling, moving, maintaining, repairing, operating or inspecting scaffolds must receive function-specific training. Examples of specific topics include the correct procedures for performing each of these tasks, the nature of scaffold hazards, and the build's intended use and maximum intended load-carrying capacity.
• Retraining: When employers have reason to believe that a worker lacks the skills or understanding required for the safe use, building or dismantling of scaffolding equipment, they must retrain the individual until he or she gains proficiency.
