Scaffolds: Supported Scaffolding Safety in Construction Environments

Scaffolding is a helpful tool when working in high places. It provides a large work area where workers can move around and keep tools near. Unfortunately, many accidents occur when using scaffolding. OSHA maintains safety and training regulations for scaffolding to reduce the risk of injury.

It is important workers understand how to work with scaffolding safely. This online training video shows workers how to build, maintain, and safely work on scaffolding. Viewers learn how to properly assemble, place, use, and disassemble scaffolding. The video teaches workers about the additional safety equipment needed when working on a scaffold. The equipment used for protection in the event of a fall is discussed in detail.

Although falling from a great height can cause serious injury and even death, working on an elevated platform does not have to be dangerous. The valuable information presented in this video helps ensure workers can perform their job using scaffolding safely and in accordance with OSHA standards.
