Scaffold Erecting - Standard

This class is designed to familiarize the experienced Journeylevel Carpenter with the OSHA and CAL/OSHA safety regulations for scaffolding, and to provide hands-on practice in the safe procedures for erecting welded frame/mobile tower scaffold, systems scaffold, and tube and clamp scaffold. The OSHAregulations require that each employee who is involved in erecting, altering, disassembling, moving, operating, repairing, maintaining, or inspecting a scaffold be trained to use safe work practices and to recognize any hazards associated with the work. In the classroom, participants will learn to extract information from the codes and do scaffold calculations. During the hands-on portion of the class, each participant will learn and practice safe work processes and then demonstrate their ability to erect, alter, dismantle, and inspect welded frame/mobile tower, systems, and tube and clamp scaffolds safely and correctly. UBC issued certificates are awarded to participants who successfully complete this class.
