Primary Access Scaffold Inspector (ONLINE)
All access scaffolds, regardless of size, are required to be inspected on a regular (often daily) basis. The vast majority of access scaffolds used in Canada every day are relatively simple structures that can be readily inspected for condition and approved for service. This program is designed for Project Managers, Supervisors, Safety Officers, Tradespersons, who will be inspecting “non-engineered” scaffolds on a regular basis.
This is a blended learning program that you can start anywhere and any time you’d like. Primary Access Scaffold are supported scaffolds (frame, system or tube & clamp) that DO NOT require engineering under the CSA Z797 Code of Practice for Access Scaffolds. For Inspection Training on scaffolds that DO require engineering, please see our Advanced Scaffold Inspector Training.
