Scaffolding Inspection and Access Systems Management

Scaffolds and access systems are used by nearly every trade on a site, so a poorly erected structure puts many workers at risk at once. This course builds the practical knowledge to specify, inspect and manage access scaffolds, mobile towers and other temporary access on South African sites. Participants focus on load class, ties, platforms and the inspection routine that keeps a scaffold safe in use.
