✅ Who Should Take This Course?

This awareness course is written for construction personnel who work on or around supported and suspended scaffolds and need a foundational understanding of OSHA Subpart L, including:

• Construction workers and laborers who use scaffolds
• Scaffold users on supported and suspended scaffolds
• Foremen, supervisors, and crew leaders overseeing scaffold work
• Safety personnel and site safety coordinators
• Workers new to scaffolds who need foundational hazard awareness
• Employees preparing for further hands-on and site-specific scaffold training

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the OSHA Requirement?

This course provides awareness-level training on the OSHA Scaffolds standard, 29 CFR 1926 Subpart L. OSHA does not approve, certify, or license training providers or courses, so no course carries an OSHA approval number; instead, the employer is responsible for ensuring training meets the standard, and a certificate of completion is acceptable documentation. This is awareness-level training only and is not a substitute for the hands-on, equipment-specific, and site-specific training that scaffold erectors, dismantlers, and users must still receive from their employer under 29 CFR 1926.451 and 1926.454. The designation of a competent person and a qualified person also remains the employer's responsibility, and this course does not by itself qualify anyone as a competent or qualified person.

✅ OSHA Training Requirements

Under 29 CFR 1926.454, the employer must have each employee who performs work on a scaffold trained by a qualified person to recognize the hazards associated with the type of scaffold being used and to understand the procedures to control or minimize those hazards. Employees who erect, disassemble, move, operate, repair, maintain, or inspect scaffolds must be trained by a competent person.

• Users trained by a qualified person to recognize scaffold hazards and control measures
• Erectors, dismantlers, movers, and inspectors trained by a competent person
• Training covers electrical, fall, and falling-object hazards and the correct use of the scaffold
• Retraining required when worksite or scaffold changes present new hazards
• Employer designates the competent and qualified persons and maintains training records

How this course helps: This 2-hour course delivers awareness-level instruction on the scaffold hazards and Subpart L requirements described in 29 CFR 1926.454, giving workers a foundational understanding of scaffold types, capacity, fall protection, access, and inspection. It supports, but does not replace, the hands-on and site-specific training the employer must provide, and the employer still designates the competent and qualified persons for the job.

✅ How Often Is Retraining Required?

OSHA does not set a fixed annual interval for scaffold retraining. Under 29 CFR 1926.454(c), the employer must retrain an employee when there is reason to believe the employee lacks the skill or understanding needed to work safely, for example when changes at the worksite or in the type of scaffold, fall protection, or other equipment present a hazard the employee has not been trained for, or when deficiencies in the employee's work show a lack of the required skill or understanding. Because retraining is triggered by changes and deficiencies rather than a set date, many employers refresh this awareness training periodically to keep workers current.

✅ How to Stay Compliant

1. Confirm with your employer that scaffold safety awareness training fits your role and site.
2. Enroll online and complete both one-hour sections at your own pace.
3. Pass the final exam to complete the course.
4. Receive your certificate of completion by email instantly.
5. Provide the certificate to your employer for its training records.
6. Complete your employer's hands-on and site-specific scaffold training with a competent person.
7. Get retrained whenever worksite or scaffold changes present new hazards, or if work deficiencies appear.
