New suspended platform training

The Spider division of SafeWorks has introduced an enhanced and improved version of its accredited Competent Person Training course. Covering the correct design and installation of a suspended scaffold system and its safe operation, as well as extensive training on hazard awareness and risk mitigation.

Spider’s course is available in two versions – one tailored for commercial building environments and a separate programme specific to industrial sites such as power plants, bridges and other infrastructure sites.

The one day course covers both classroom and hands-on training and enables the employer to designate the successful student as a Competent Person, meeting the employer’s obligations under OSHA 1926.450(b) and 1926.32(f).

Students receive a certificate, wallet card and the course’s 300-page training manual. Enrolling in the new course is also easier with online registration and delivery of completion certificates.

The courses are taught weekly by Spider’s team of 29 certified trainers across 25 locations in the Americas.
