Product-specific training and documented practices

According to the regulations, product-specific training is required for the particular scaffolding system to be used.

This includes:

  • Review of manufacturer's installation instructions
  • Use of personal fall protection equipment
  • Supervised practical training by a qualified person

The company is responsible for ensuring that the practical part of the training is carried out correctly. We can assist with document templates and guidance.

Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority: Increased supervision and stricter sanctions

The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority warns of increased controls and fines for violations of requirements for working at height. In several cases, a fine of at least NOK 50,000 is imposed for lack of or incorrect training. This emphasizes the importance of documenting competence in a correct manner.
