The CISRS 1-Day Scaffolding Awareness course is aimed at anyone who uses scaffolding as part of their work or has responsibilities for managing site scaffolding operations.

It will provide attendees with a greater understanding and appreciation of the potential dangers of working at height on scaffolds and enable them to identify the core components of a safe scaffold.

This course will also provide the delegate with an insight into scaffold best practice and what they should expect from their scaffold contractor.
