![]() ![]() International training schemes were set up overseas by the CITB following the same tried and tested criteria. Experience and was recognised the highest level of achievement. This was continued until completing the 10-day part 2 usually for at least another 18 – 24 months. The advance training course was often only provided to those that had gained many years of work as a basic scaffolder. After completing the initial 10 day training course they would return to work as the junior member with an experienced scaffold team, and progress as an improver learning how to assemble various scaffolds, learning what fittings to use and how to position them when installing the components. This method of training was continued into the CITB training program with lads getting sent on the part 1 after about 18 months starting work as a helper or labourer for a scaffold company. This was the normal route of progression, and it would be a long time before a new starter was getting their hands on a spanner. If companies choose not to comply with this requirement, they can be prosecuted under H&S legislation's and fined large sums or even have their directors face possible imprisonment.Īs good as this sounds when ensuring the training of new scaffolders, this often leaves the responsibility of the training to individual training centres and tutors in regard to the content of the training course when left unregulated by an awarding body. Add to this the fact that many companies just want their trainee scaffolders certified in the shortest amount of time to comply with the legal requirements, and that they often want as many trained as possible in each class and it becomes all too easy for the standard of training to slip, or just be outdated.Ĭertified Scaffold training started in the United Kingdom with the basic part 1, & basic part 2 scaffold courses in the 1970’s back then this was provided through the newly created CITB training centres. Prior to this training was internally run through scaffold companies such as SGB following a time served method of on the job learning, with new lads starting on the ground pulling materials up with a rope and wheel, or becoming a member within a chain that is passing the equipment by hand up to the fixers. In many countries it is now stated in constructions laws that all scaffolds must be erected by qualified scaffolders that have undergone a recognised level of training for the equipment they are using. To ensure scaffolds do not fail and endanger the lives of workers or members of the public. But there are many areas of a scaffold that can suffer a failure, long before it becomes the catastrophic image and the subsequent press releases that give a poor safety image to the scaffolding industry. Thanks to the easy combinability with the VARIOKIT engineering construction kit, an economical and versatile super construction kit with even more application possibilities is also created.When many people think of scaffold failures the image that comes to mind is of a large structure that has collapsed and has fallen to the ground. In addition to the integrated safety and assembly functions of the core components of the PERI UP Scaffolding Kit, digital solutions such as PERIpath, SET or the XR App ensure planning reliability. Working surfaces can be completely covered without gaps and without height offsets of the decks interfering areas are simply surrounded, thus eliminating potential trip hazards right from the start. Thanks to Gravity Lock, Locking Deck and the low weight of the components, the working platforms can also be assembled quickly. Even complex technical systems or unusual building geometries can thus be scaffolded flexibly and safely. The consistent metric system grid, the possible change in direction of the decks and the possibility of attaching further components to standards and ledgers ensure a high degree of adaptability of the scaffold construction to local conditions. With the core components of the PERI UP Scaffolding kit, safe working platforms with the most varied requirements can be implemented. ![]()
