Scaffold Competent Person Training

Nearly a third of all construction fatalities are falls from heights, making scaffolds one of the most dangerous areas on a job site. Therefore, OSHA requires a specially trained individual called a “competent person” to be present whenever scaffolding is set up, used, and taken down.

Circle Safety & Health offers a comprehensive Scaffolding Competent Person Training course that will train an individual to become a competent person and meet OSHA requirements. This five-hour class is ideal for a wide range of employees, including:

People in charge of erection operations
Those in charge of people working on scaffolds
Supervisors

Site Superintendents
Project Managers
Site Safety Officers

Our highly knowledgeable safety instructors will provide your team members with the information they need to help ensure the safety of all scaffolding workers. We can conduct training at your location or at our training room in Richmond, VA.

Frequently Asked Questions Scaffold Competent Person Training

How often do Scaffold Competent Persons require recertification?

Although OSHA does not require recertification, we highly recommend workers get recertified every three years. It will keep them sharp and also give them the opportunity to ask the instructor any scaffolding safety questions that may have arisen since they last took the course.
