BASIC SCAFFOLDING COURSE
The course is tailored to meet the requirement of IADC syllabus demonstrating the competence and knowledge of basic scaffold operations in the oil and gas industries. The purpose of working scaffold is to provide a safe place of work with safe access suitable for the work being done. This training sets out performance requirements for safe working practice and principles in scaffolding. The course also specifies structural designs rules when certain materials are used and general rules for prefabricated equipment. The training is designed to enable the instructor to undertake a structured and effective delivery technique as it captures the fundamental elements of the course.
