Scaffolding Safely (OSHA)

Scaffolds give workers a stable, elevated platform to reach high areas across industries ranging from construction to film production. When scaffolds are assembled incorrectly, overloaded, or used without proper fall protection, the results can be catastrophic, including collapses, falls from height, and struck-by injuries. Proper training is what helps workers recognize these hazards before they turn into incidents. This course covers scaffold types and components, inspection and tagging, safe use under OSHA requirements, hazard identification and mitigation, and emergency procedures.

Is there a time limit for online courses?

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.

How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?

When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
