SCAFFOLDING SAFETY
Online Scaffolding Safety Awareness course crucial for anyone involved in construction or related industries. This training provides essential knowledge on essential safety protocols, minimising the risk of accidents and injuries.
A 2020 report by the NASC found 1 in every 230 scaffolding workers (74 incidents in total) suffered an injury on scaffolding in 2019. A ‘significant improvement’ on the previous year, when 1 in 150 workers suffered an injury. Most injuries (21%) were caused by Slips, Trips and Falls.
Working at Height regulations, place a duty upon employers to ensure staff are competent. Meaning employees must receive appropriate training.
Scaffold Safety certification from Echo3 improves individual competence and helps employers meet legal and workplace requirements.

COURSE CONTENT
UNIT 1 | Introduction
In this first unit you will develop your understanding of why scaffolding safety awareness is important. We will also explore different types of scaffolding and their key components.
UNIT 2 | Scaffolding hazards and risk reduction
In this second unit we highlight the hazards involved in working on scaffolding and the associated safety measures that help keep you and your colleagues safe.
UNIT 3 | Scaffolding roles and responsibilities
In this third and final unit we look at the safety responsibilities of key personnel. Some of these roles involve working with scaffolding directly, other positions hold a more general responsibility for safety on site.

WHAT IS SCAFFOLDING?
What is scaffolding and why is it used?
A scaffold is a temporary structure used to support workers, materials and equipment while performing tasks at height above the ground.
Scaffolding is usually a linked system of metal tubes, although it can be made from other materials, for example wood.
Scaffolding should provide safe access for workers to normally inaccessible places.
When assessing a task, consider if there are safer and reasonably practical alternatives ways to complete the task, that don’t require scaffolding.
IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING
Why is scaffolding safety training important?
In 2019 there was a 27% rise in the number of scaffolding incidents, from 89 in 2017 to 113 in 2018. The resulting injuries are often serious and include.
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Internal organ injury
- Fractures and broken bones
- And Severe lacerations or deep cuts
The leading cause of these injuries is Human error. Scaffold Awareness training, like this, helps to reduce the chance of human error. This, in turn, helps to create a safer workplace for you and your colleagues.
CREATING SAFE SCAFFOLDING
Safe work practices begin when the scaffold is getting built. Consideration must be given to protecting employees working near the structure, as well as the public.
The structure must be protected from being struck by vehicles or machinery. So, barriers and signage should be used to prevent people and vehicles encroaching upon the scaffold area.
Before you work on any type of scaffold, there are a range of environmental hazards to consider that are associated with scaffolding. These are:
- ground conditions
- the presence of nearby power lines
- traffic
- and chemical or hazardous substances
All risks should be identified, and risk assessed.
More comprehensive information about safe scaffolding considerations can be found on the Health & Safety Executive website.
