Course Overview

Managing people who use scaffold towers is a scary responsibility if you don’t know what good practice looks like. How can managers be sure their workers have chosen the right tower, built a stable structure and aren’t going to fall off? First, they need to know what "good" looks like.

Course Duration & Delivery

This course is completed online, lasting 1 day, under the tutelage of a Lead Instructor. Through a combination of theory and group exercises, this course teaches you what to look for from the ground – before, during and after work begins.
