- As refresher training per employer policy
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does scaffold safety training take?
This online scaffold safety certification takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete, including the final exam. You can work at your own pace and pause/resume as needed.
What score do I need to pass?
You must achieve a minimum score of 70% on the final assessment. You have up to 3 attempts to pass.
At what height is fall protection required on scaffolds?
OSHA requires fall protection for each employee on a scaffold more than 10 feet above a lower level. The specific type of fall protection required varies by scaffold type.
What is the safety factor for scaffold components?
Scaffolds must support at least 4 times the maximum intended load (4:1 safety factor). Suspension scaffold ropes require a higher safety factor of 6:1.
What fall protection is required for two-point suspension scaffolds?
Two-point adjustable suspension scaffolds (swing stages) require BOTH guardrail systems AND personal fall arrest systems. This dual protection requirement is mandatory and cannot be substituted.
What is the role of a competent person in scaffold safety?
A competent person must be capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards and have authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them. They must inspect scaffolds before each work shift and supervise erection, modification, and dismantling.
Can employees ride on mobile scaffolds during movement?
Yes, but ONLY when ALL five mandatory conditions are met: level surface within 3 degrees, height-to-base ratio 2:1 or less, outrigger frames on both sides (if used), speed limited to 1 foot per second, and no employees on platform parts extending beyond supports.
