Scaffolder - Refresher

Scaffolder - Refresher Course Overview & Training Details

Elite Offshore's Scaffolder Refresher course is a combination of practices and safety procedures to ensure proper use and maintenance of scaffolding equipment to minimize the risk of accidents. This course has been developed to refresh the delegate’s existing knowledge, to ensure that the delegate is made fully aware of changes in legislation and good working practices, and to provide additional training to align their skillset with the contents of current CISRS Scaffolder/Advanced Scaffolder Courses. A well-designed scaffolding safety training program can educate workers on the dangers of working with scaffolds and how to minimize the associated risks through regular inspection and supervision.
