Course Overview
A procedure for work at height and scaffolding safety that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Almost every serious incident involving scaffolding safety was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this aspect of occupational health and safety so that teams can disagree productively about it. The level assumes working familiarity with the work site but no prior formal training in work at height and scaffolding safety. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a safety procedure for this part of occupational health and safety as they go. Participants gain a realistic view of what scaffolding safety costs and what it returns. Moving work at height and scaffolding safety from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place scaffolding safety among the areas with the widest performance spread. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the occupational health and safety discipline broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
