Training & Scaffold Stability

Scaffold training teaches us to recognize the hazards associated with the type of scaffold being used – and also understand the procedures to control and minimize those hazards.

Nuera Scaffold offers product development sessions for companies wishing to extend their employees’ product knowledge on the vast assortment of scaffolding components. We also provide extensive User Hazard Awareness Training sessions available to companies who want to train their employees and supervisors to understand the hazards of scaffolds today. This training session is part theory and part hands-on, and usually consists of a full-day session.

The User Hazard Awareness training is a Scaffold Industry Association (SIA) recognized program whereby successful students receive an accredited Certificate wallet card upon completion. Scaffold training is required by law, for those individuals who will be conducting work on or around a scaffold. Each employer shall have every employee who performs scaffold work trained by a qualified person.
