Managers, supervisors, and licensed safety managers and coordinators could also benefit from this course.

 During the suspended scaffold user class, students will be introduced to OSHA and DOB policies, procedures, and suspended scaffold standards with a detailed overview of prevention and recognition of hazardous conditions. Students will learn how to inspect suspended scaffold equipment, components, and methods for assembling and disassembling them. This course also includes a hands-on component, where participants will present, build, and use various scaffolding and rigging applications.
