Scaffold User Safety

A large percentage of all job site falls are from scaffolds. Of all fatalities relating to scaffolds, 70% are caused by falls, 18% are caused by scaffold collapse, and 12% by overhead wire electrocution. This Scaffold User Safety course was developed to make our UBC members aware of the dangers they may encounter when working from a scaffold and how to protect themselves from those mishaps. The course covers potential hazards including: falls, access/egress, falling objects, electrocution, and avoiding scaffold collapse. Instruction is mostly lecture and slide-show presentation with incidental hands-on manipulative exercises.
