Scaffold
BASIC SCAFFOLDING TRAINING
Scaffolding is a temporary framework structure constructed with the help of tube and wooden planks to provide a stable working platform, a means of support and access to perform a work at height and to help keep some limited number of materials and tools. The scaffolding is used for routine maintenance, renovation, construction, and alteration activities. It also provides convenient and safe working conditions as compared to conventional working arrangements like overhead stretching work, use of ladders, etc. Negligence in the proper use of scaffolding can result in devastating consequences such as injury to personnel, damage to property and even death. Therefore the scaffolding should be erected, modified and dismantled by competent scaffolders only.
The IISFM basic scaffolding training has been aimed to provide the aspirants the knowledge of scaffolding, its component, risk of scaffolding, general hazards, safety measures, and legislative compliance and skills to dismantle and erect the scaffolding safely.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
To provide participants both theoretical and practical training using standard scaffolding guidelines on erection, inspection, use and dismantling, and enhancing the competency and skill to perform the responsibility of a competent scaffolder is the aim and objective of this training.
