Background
Safety measures are important when using scaffolding. Training in how to use scaffolding properly is essential for reducing the risks of serious injury or death to those working on, under, or near scaffold equipment.
It is also critical that others that may be in the vicinity must be protected from injuries and accidents wherever possible - this includes customers, vendors and visitors.
Regulation surrounding scaffolding is extremely tight and it is critical for anybody working in this area to be properly trained and certified. It is also critical for companies to have property trained staff working for them - to avoid accidents and litigation.
