OSHA 10 Safety Training

OSHA 30 Safety Training

Designed to meet the requirements of the OSHA 29 CFR 1926.451 Regulation.

Scaffolding Training

In 2010 alone, OSHA reported 7,069 scaffolding violations in job sites across America with 37 workers dying in scaffold related incidents.  This makes Scaffolding the second-most cited violation behind Fall Protection, and shows the need for proper safety training in this area of work.


A competent person is a necessity on every job site and is some one who has sufficient experience and/or knowledge to recognize scaffold hazards, correct unsafe conditions, and who has the ability to shut down the worksite until any hazards are corrected. The competent person should be the most knowledgeable person, in this case about scaffold safety, on site.


Our Scaffolding for the Competent Person course ensures that a student will receive all of the proper training pursuant to OSHAs requirement of Competent Persons for this standard 29 CFR 1926.451. This course will go beyond the basic awareness level of introductory courses and into details necessary when learning not just how to protect yourself, but what it takes to create a safe working environment for those you may be responsible for.  If your needs to not require a full, competent person level course, we also offer an awareness level Scaffold Safety course.

This is a certificate-level safety course designed to familiarize you with basic occupational safety, health principles and techniques that relate to Lead Awareness in Construction. This course emphasizes safety and health regulatory standards, as well as environmental standards and best management practices. Coupled with job and site specific training, this course is designed to comply with the OSHA initial and annual lead awareness training requirements specified in 29 CFR 1926.59 and 29 CFR 1926.62(l).

Fall Protection

Did you know that falls are the leading cause of construction accidents with over 500 fall related deaths occurring every year? Fall protection training is an important part of a worker’s overall safety training.  Identifying fall hazards and deciding how best to protect workers is the first step in reducing or eliminating fall hazards. Occupational fatalities caused by falls remain a serious public health problem.  Any time a worker is at a height of four feet or more, or is working over dangerous equipment or machinery, the worker is at risk and needs to be protected.  The proper fall protection training will go a long way in achieving this.


This important safety course will show you a variety of methods to safeguard you from falling at height, including how to properly use fall protection equipment, as well as provide guidance on how safety managers can ensure a safe workplace for their workers, certifying you under OSHAs Fall Protection standard 29 CFR 1926 Subpart M.
