A construction site is an ever-changing workplace, a workplace full of hazards that can hurt us, make us ill, or kill us. Controlling these hazards and keeping construction workers safe is the point of a safety and health program. Workers who climb onto or perform work on supported scaffolding may be exposed to these types of hazards and must make scaffold safety their number one priority. This program delves into some common pitfalls and mistakes that can happen with scaffolding. Understanding and avoiding these common scaffolding hazards can prevent injuries and save lives.

After watching the program, the participant should be able to explain the following:

• Who is qualified to install a scaffolding system;
• The importance of a pre-shift inspection;
• The requirements for decking and planking;
• The elements of a guardrail system;
• How to protect workers from falling debris.
