The Scaffolding Operations course equips learners with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to safely plan, erect, use, inspect, and dismantle scaffolding structures at construction sites. The course emphasizes compliance with safety regulations, proper selection of materials, risk assessment, and teamwork in scaffolding tasks.

Learners will be introduced to different types of scaffolds, their components, and methods of assembly and disassembly. Special attention is given to accident prevention, load management, hazard identification, and safe working practices when working at heights. Practical sessions allow learners to gain hands-on experience in using scaffolding tools, equipment, and protective gear.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Interpret scaffolding drawings and specifications.

• Select appropriate materials, tools, and equipment for scaffolding tasks.

• Safely erect, maintain, and dismantle scaffolding structures.

• Conduct routine checks and inspections for stability and safety.

This course is designed for construction workers, site supervisors, and trainees who aim to build competence in scaffolding as part of broader construction operations.
