Scaffolding Safety: From Erection to Inspection
Scaffold collapses and falls from scaffolds are among the most preventable incidents on any site. The controls are well known — the failures come from skipping them under pressure.

Scaffolding, Access & Rope Safety | Training Programme
The scaffolds that do not follow the standard drawing.
The advanced programme covers the full technical and practical process of erecting and dismantling scaffolds, including configurations that a basic course does not reach.
Overview
Standard scaffolds can be built from the supplier's instructions. Anything unusual, whether tall, heavily loaded, sheeted, cantilevered or on a structure that cannot take ties, needs a specific design that sets out the load class, tie pattern, bracing and foundations.
The advanced programme covers the full technical and practical process for those configurations: understanding what the design is asking for, building to it, and leaving the scaffold in the condition required for handover and inspection before first use.
What the programme covers
- Loading classes and platform duty
- Complex and non-standard configurations
- Ties, anchors and the loads they carry
- Cantilevers, returns and openings
- Design drawings and when a scaffold needs one
- Handover and the condition a scaffold must be in
Who it is for
Scaffolders working on complex or non-standard scaffolds
Practical Training
