Scaffold User Hazard Awareness Training Offers More Flexible Option

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Scaffold & Access Industry Association (SAIA) released a web-based version of its Supported Scaffold training course allowing users to learn on their own schedules.

SAIA offers training for both supported and suspended scaffold through its internationally-acclaimed training program. The online-supported Scaffold User Hazard Awareness Training is intended for any and all persons who use a scaffold to access their work, and is a requirement in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.454(a). The online module is perfect for an on-the-go lifestyle and can be viewed from a computer, tablet or phone. The course takes approximately 3 hours to complete if taken all at once. However, users can work at their desired pace.

Upon completion of the course and receiving a passing score on the final exam, students will receive a printable certificate along with a wallet card for their records. There is no requirement for an in-person or written exam.

SAIA has received positive feedback on the web-based course since it was released July of 2016 and users appreciate the versatility of the bulk-purchase option. Licenses can be purchased to train a large number of employees in different geographical locations, providing added flexibility and helping reduce training costs. 

Licenses sell for $125 per user, but can be resold at any price. For a preview of Lesson 1, click here to view a video clip.
