2 point suspended scaffold refresher

The 2-Point Suspended Scaffold Refresher course is designed for workers who already hold a valid suspended scaffold certification and need to renew their knowledge and skills. This refresher provides updated information on safe operation, rigging techniques, fall protection, and regulatory requirements for two-point suspended (swing-stage) scaffolds.

Suspended scaffolds are high-risk equipment, and proper training helps prevent falls, rigging failures, and other job-site hazards. This refresher ensures workers stay compliant with current safety standards and maintain competent, hands-on skills required for safe scaffold use.
