Course Description: During this course, students will explore New York City Construction Codes and OSHA Regulations as they pertain to the supervision of suspended scaffolds. Participants will learn the most current suspended scaffold standards and will receive guidance on how to read scaffold design drawings, how to verify the fitness of the rigging crew, properly train workers on related hazards, and how to identify and respond to emergency situations. This course will include a hands-on portion where students will learn and apply rope knots, terminate wire rope, build a block and tackle system, effectively install fall protection systems, and inspect/maintain different types of scaffold hoist motors. A hands-on assessment will be made by the instructor to determine if each student is capable of performing the above-mentioned scaffolding and rigging applications.
