Safety on the construction site is crucial to preventing accidents and injuries. Scaffolding courses play a key role in this work by providing workers with the necessary knowledge and skills for the safe use and erection of scaffolding. But how do you know which course is best suited to your needs, and how does it contribute to increased safety?
Why is scaffolding training important?
Scaffolding poses a significant risk if not used or installed correctly. Improper use can lead to falls, collapses or other dangerous situations. Scaffolding courses provide a thorough introduction to laws, regulations, safety procedures and practical techniques that ensure safe work at height.

- Scaffolding course 2–9 meters with fall protection – for work at heights up to 9 meters, where fall protection is required.
- Scaffolding assembly course - scaffolding course over 9 meters - for assembly and dismantling of scaffolding over 9 meters.

How the right course contributes to increased safety
-
Prevents accidents
Proper training ensures that workers are aware of the risks, can use equipment correctly, and follow applicable laws and regulations. This reduces falls and other hazards.
-

With correct training, the scaffolding is assembled and used according to approved standards, which provides safety for both users and the environment.
