Frequently Asked Questions about Scaffolding Courses and Construction Safety

Working with scaffolding and other construction site activities requires both knowledge and proper training to ensure a safe working environment. At GTM Kompetanse, we often receive questions from both individuals and companies about scaffolding courses, safety and regulations. Here we have compiled answers to some of the most common questions to help you.

1. Why is scaffolding training necessary?

Scaffolding courses give you the skills you need to assemble, use and dismantle scaffolding safely. Without proper training, the risk of accidents increases significantly. Our courses such as Scaffolding course 2–9 meters with fall protection give you approved skills that are both required by law and important for safety.

2. What types of scaffolding courses are there?

We offer several courses adapted to different needs, including:

3. What is fall protection, and why is it important?

Fall protection is a safety solution that protects against falls from heights. It is mandatory in many situations, especially when working above 2 meters. Our fall protection courses, such as the Fall Protection Course , teach you how to use equipment correctly to minimize risk.

4. Can I take the courses digitally?

Yes! Many of our courses are available as online courses, so you can learn at your own pace. For example, we offer the Hot Work Online Course and Work Alert Course 1 and 2 as webinars with certificates.

5. How does course certification and validity work?

All our courses provide a valid course certificate that meets the requirements of Norwegian authorities. For example, the certificate from Arbeidsvarsling course 1 is valid for 5 years. It is important to renew your competence regularly to maintain safety in the workplace.

6. What do I do if I am responsible for work notification?

People responsible for occupational health and safety should take Occupational Health and Safety Course 2 , which provides training in health and safety plans, risk assessments and relevant regulations.

7. Where can I find help if I am unsure about which course I need?
