Available for MP4 video download by purchasing a corporate or single-site license.
Whenever someone leaves the ground, the risk of an accident increases dramatically. With more than 1,000 scaffold-related injuries reported each year, OSHA has mandated that construction workers be trained on how to safely erect and use these valuable work platforms. This video training program gives employees the information they need to refresh their understanding of the dangers of working with scaffolds, and how these risks can be minimized by knowing the ways to correctly erect, maintain, and use scaffolding equipment. Topics covered include:
- Definitions of suspended scaffolds
- Responsibilities of a scaffold expert
- Hazards of working with suspended scaffolds
- Suspension devices
- Maximum intended load
- Outrigger beams
- Tie-backs and counterweights
