Scaffolding Training is a structured learning program that teaches workers how to safely erect, use, inspect and dismantle scaffolding systems at worksites. It covers the essential skills required to work on temporary working platforms, whether in construction, maintenance, shutdown projects, industrial plants or refurbishment works.
This training focuses on safety practices, load calculations, stability checks, risk control and legal requirements that govern scaffolding work. The aim is simple: prevent falls, avoid collapses and ensure safe access for people working at height.
Scaffolding accidents are one of the major causes of injuries and fatalities across industries. Many incidents are linked to improper erection, poor supervision or lack of knowledge about safe working loads. With increasing infrastructure growth and industrial expansion, more workers are involved in working at height than ever before.
Proper scaffolding training ensures:
For companies, trained scaffolders are an investment, not an expense. A skilled workforce means safer sites, faster project completion and improved reliability during audits.
Ken Institute’s Scaffolding Training program is designed to meet the needs of modern workplaces. The content is built by experienced industry trainers and follows globally accepted best practices. Each session blends theory with practical insights so that learners understand not just what to do, but also why it matters.
The training is available in multiple formats, beginner, intermediate, supervisor level and refresher programs. We also offer customised modules for industries such as oil & gas, construction, power plants, manufacturing units, and facility maintenance.
