Project Description
8-Hour Supported Scaffold Installer and Remover Refresher
The teaching faculty at Andromeda Academy is unparalleled in their scaffold expertise. Courses are enriched by decades of hands-on knowledge that will be conveyed to students. Teaching will include a focus on a range of skills including pre-planning, worker training, reading scaffold design drawings, and safe methods of installation, removal and modification. A significant portion of the class time will be dedicated to hands-on training and practice. OSHA regulations and DOB standards will be covered fully.
Each student will be evaluated by the instructor to gauge ability to apply knots, install/maintain fall protection systems, build supported scaffolds and walking/working scaffold platforms.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Differentiate between OSHA and New York City Building Code regulations
- Properly inspect supported scaffold components
- Pinpoint scaffold accident causes and corresponding prevention methods
- Control hazards related to the installation/removal of supported scaffolds
- Explain terminology and definitions related to supported scaffold
- Demonstrate basic hands-on knowledge of the safe use of supported scaffold equipment
