Course Overview

Scaffolds are temporary elevated work platforms used to provide workers with safe access to perform tasks at height.

While many people associate scaffolding with frame scaffolds on construction sites, scaffolds are used in a wide variety of workplace environments and applications, including industrial facilities, maintenance operations, suspended window-washing systems, access towers, and other temporary work platforms. Since scaffolds are continually assembled, dismantled, transported, modified, and exposed to the elements, they are susceptible to damage, corrosion, missing components, and other conditions that can create serious safety hazards if not properly inspected and used.

The OSHA 3085 Principles of Scaffolding course provides an overview of scaffold safety principles, OSHA standards, and industry best practices for anyone who erects, inspects, supervises, or works from scaffolds. Participants will learn to identify common scaffold hazards, recognize unsafe conditions, understand the responsibilities of competent persons and scaffold users, and apply safe work practices that help prevent falls, struck-by incidents, scaffold collapses, and other scaffold-related injuries and fatalities.

This course helps fulfill the knowledge requirements for individuals serving as a scaffold-competent person.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for anyone听who has a scaffold on their worksite. Whether you use scaffolds, supervise employees who work from them, manage projects where scaffolds are present, or are responsible for scaffold inspection and safety, this course provides the knowledge needed to recognize hazards, support OSHA compliance, and promote safe work practices.听

This course is recommended for:听

• Safety managers and safety professionals
• Project managers
• Superintendents
• Foremen
• Competent persons responsible for inspecting, assembling, modifying, or dismantling scaffold systems
• Shipyard industries
• Entertainment industries
• Maintenance personnel
• Facility and operations personnel
• Contractors and subcontractors
• Anyone who uses or works around scaffolds as part of their job

Why Scaffold Safety Matters

Falls are the leading cause of fatalities in industry and are the number one hazard identified in OSHA's Fatal Four. Fall protection is consistently among OSHA's most frequently cited violations. Scaffold-related falls are among the most common and serious fall incidents across construction, industrial, and shipyard worksites. Understanding scaffold hazards, applying safe work practices, and supporting OSHA compliance are essential to protecting workers and preventing serious injuries and fatalities.
