The period that a scaffold remains in a safe condition is dependent on many factors. These include the environment, location, exposure, external influences, abuse, duration and frequency of use.
Due to the temporary nature of all scaffolding structures, there comes a time when the integrity of its components (due to corrosion and other types of deterioration) cannot be guaranteed.
A decision should then be made to fully assess and possibly renovate or dismantle the structure. Then re-erect with serviceable and recently inspected tubes, fittings and boards etc. (NASC SG41.20).
To safely erect a scaffolding tower, individuals must complete the appropriate CISRS scaffolding training. Training ensures that operatives can erect towers safely and in compliance with current health and safety legislation.
Our Basic Scaffold Inspection course is ideal for professionals who are in charge of statutory scaffold inspections on basic scaffolding structures. The course is suitable for those with at least 2 years of experience of working with scaffolding.
Acceptable training for scaffolders typically includes CISRS-approved courses, depending on the level of responsibility. Training must cover both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, including safe assembly, inspection, and dismantling of scaffolds. Employers may also require additional health and safety courses, such as working at height or manual handling, to ensure comprehensive competence on site.
The length of training depends on the level and type of scaffolding course. Basic Scaffold Inspection training takes 3 days to complete. This course is not for beginners, but it will enhance the skills and knowledge of individuals already working with scaffolding.
Yes, scaffolders are trained to use personal protective equipment, including safety harnesses, when working at height or in situations where fall protection is required. Proper training ensures scaffolders can work safely while minimising the risk of falls.
Scaffolders working on buildings where asbestos may be present must complete asbestos awareness training as a minimum. This training provides knowledge of asbestos types, health risks, safe working practices, and what to do if asbestos is encountered on site. For certain high-risk projects, more advanced asbestos handling or licensed asbestos training may be required in addition to the awareness course.
To work as a professional scaffolder, individuals typically require a CISRS qualification, starting with the Operative card and progressing to Advanced or Supervisor levels for greater responsibility. Additional requirements may include health and safety certifications, working at height training, and site-specific inductions. These qualifications demonstrate competency, legal compliance, and the ability to work safely on construction projects.
