Frequently Asked Questions
 

What course do we recommend?

The training should be appropriate to the type of scaffolds and scope of work the attendee will be involved in.  The five day course (Modules 1-5) is our recommended course.  For even more training, the 80 hour course includes a week of working with the students at your facility building real scaffolds in your environment for actual use.  For those who need training only in basic frame, tube & coupler, and system scaffolds, the three day course (Modules 1-3) could be a good fit. For those who need an overview of powered suspended scaffolds (Spider baskets swing stage) in addition to basic  frame, tube & coupler, and system scaffolds, the Four Day course is a good fit.
 

What is the minimum to cover the mandatory OSHA training requirements?

That depends upon the scope of work (e.g. inspection, erection, or modification), and the types of scaffolds involved.    The training should be appropriate for the scope of work the attendee will be involved in.  The topics OSHA recommends in 1926.454 and Appendix D for frame, tube & coupler, and system are covered in classroom fashion in module one. This course is the minimum for inspection of scaffolds.  Basic erection is covered in Module Two.  For those building larger scaffolds, the design and loading in Module Three is recommended.  More advanced assembly is covered in Module Five. 

How much "hands-on" training is required by OSHA?  

OSHA does not mandate a specific number of hours. The hands on should be custom tailored for each company according to the employees’ experience, types of scaffolds to be used, and scope of anticipated work. The are 25 different types of scaffolds covered by 1926.452, so the training should be specific to the type used. For example, one employer might have experienced workers who erect only frame scaffolds up to two levels, then call a scaffold company to erect larger scaffolds. The amount of hands on training should reflect that limited scope.  Another employer might use all three types  (frame, tube & clamp, and system) on taller scaffolds. The amount of hands on should then reflect that scope.  Module Two covers basic scaffolds up to two levels high.  Module Five covers more advanced assembly including hanging scaffolds, Knee outs, truss installation and stairway installation.  Our 80 hour course also covers hands on assembly at the customer's location in real applications. Call to discuss.

Can you send an instructor to our site and conduct a custom course for our employees? 

Yes, STI has been conducting training all over the world for over 25 years.  We can provide training pretty much anywhere on planet earth.

What about refresher training?

OSHA does not mandate a specific time period but our recommendation is to be retrained every five years.

                                                                                      OSHA§ 1926.454 Training Requirements.
This section supplements and clarifies the requirements of § 1926.21(b)(2) as these relate to the hazards of work on scaffolds.
(a) The employer shall have each employee who performs work while on a scaffold trained by a person qualified in the subject matter to recognize the hazards associated with the type of scaffold being used and to understand the procedures to control or minimize those hazards. The training shall include the following areas, as applicable: 
(1) The nature of any electrical hazards, fall hazards and falling object hazards in the work area;
(2) The correct procedures for dealing with electrical hazards and for erecting, maintaining, and disassembling the fall protection systems and falling object protection systems being used;
(3) The proper use of the scaffold, and the proper handling of materials on the scaffold;
(4) The maximum intended load and the load-carrying capacities of the scaffolds used; and
(5) Any other pertinent requirements of this subpart.
(b) The employer shall have each employee who is involved in erecting, disassembling, moving, operating, repairing, maintaining, or inspecting a scaffold trained by a competent person to recognize any hazards associated with the work in question. The training shall include the following topics, as applicable:
(1) The nature of scaffold hazards;
(2) The correct procedures for erecting, disassembling, moving, operating, repairing, inspecting, and maintaining the type of scaffold in question;
(3) The design criteria, maximum intended load-carrying capacity and intended use of the scaffold;
(4) Any other pertinent requirements of this subpart.
(c) When the employer has reason to believe that an employee lacks the skill or understanding needed for safe work involving the erection, use or dismantling of scaffolds, the employer shall retrain each such employee so that the requisite proficiency is regained. Retraining is required in at least the following situations: 
(1) Where changes at the worksite present a hazard about which an employee has not been previously trained; or
(2) Where changes in the types of scaffolds, fall protection, falling object protection, or other equipment present a hazard about which an employee has not been previously trained; or
(3) Where inadequacies in an affected employee’s work involving scaffolds indicate that the employee has not retained the requisite proficiency.

The December students below rebuilt the big tube & clamp scaffold after Hurricane Ike had blown it over.

These December students below were just hanging around (Joking).  It is a good experience to feel the suspension in a harness. 

The swing stage allows a gradual lowering until suspension is obtained without impact.
