Course 804 Safe Scaffold Erection and Inspection provides the knowledge-based training component needed to prepare workers for scaffold competent person responsibilities, including scaffold erection, inspection, and hazard recognition.

This course covers OSHA scaffold safety requirements, inspection criteria, and common hazards associated with scaffold erection and use. It satisfies the online / classroom training portion of scaffold competent person preparation as defined by OSHA.

OSHA defines a competent person as someone who has both the knowledge to identify existing and predictable hazards and the authority to take prompt corrective measures. While this course provides essential knowledge and hazard recognition training, employers are responsible for evaluating hands-on competence and formally designating competent persons.

Completion of course 804 Safe Scaffold Erection and Inspection alone does not designate an individual as an OSHA "competent person." Competent person status is determined by the employer and requires demonstrated ability, jobsite experience, and authority to correct hazards, in addition to formal training.

OSHA requires employers to train workers who use or work on scaffolds so they can recognize scaffold hazards and know how to work safely. Training must cover how scaffolds are safely erected, used, inspected, and maintained, as well as load limits and fall protection.

Workers who build, inspect, or oversee scaffolds must receive additional training related to those tasks. Employers must retrain workers when conditions change, new hazards appear, or unsafe behavior is observed.

OSHA does not require a specific training format, but employers are responsible for making sure training is effective and that designated competent persons have the knowledge, experience, and authority to correct scaffold hazards.
