Scaffold Inspector

Description

Ensure structural integrity and compliance before your teams step off the ground. Scaffolding structures are vital to high-risk operations, but incorrect assembly, missing components, or environmental degradation can lead to catastrophic structural failure. This specialized technical program trains designated inspectors to systematically evaluate, sign off, and manage scaffolding systems in strict accordance with South African National Standards (SANS 10085) and OHS legislation.
