Our Basic Scaffolding course details the understanding of:

  • Accessing and reading basic scaffold plans, drawings, and manufacturer specifications.
  • Identifying hazards (such as ground stability or nearby powerlines) and applying Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS).
  • Using standard site hand signals, ropes, and communication channels to coordinate with ground crews.
  • Identifying and selecting components for modular, prefabricated, mobile, frame, and bracket scaffolds.
  • Checking scaffolding equipment for defects like cracks, rust, and/or structural deformities before assembly.
  • Calculating Working Load Limits (WLL),understanding load capabilities, and determining dead weight pressures on ground foundations.
  • Safely erecting basic scaffolding types, including modular or prefabricated designs, birdcage scaffolds, and trestles.
  • Installing lightweight material hoists (up to 500 kg maximum load capacity), ropes, and gin wheels.
  • Correctly installing static lines, safety nets, guard rails, and proper access/egress platforms.
  • Performing structural inspections during use and maintaining a clear written scaffold inspection log.
  • Disassembling scaffolding systems sequentially to ensure structural stability remains intact throughout the process.
  • Finalising mandatory safety paperwork, completing handover certificates, and applying active scaffold safety tags.
