Introduction
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 requires the inspection of certain work equipment and places of work at height (r12 and 13 and Schedule 7). It also requires that every employer shall ensure that no person engages in any activity, including organisation, planning and supervision, in relation to working at height, or work equipment for use in such work unless they are competent to do so, or, if being trained, is supervised by a competent person. This two day Scaffold Inspection Course will give delegates such knowledge so as to enable them to understand how to inspect scaffolding structures in accordance with statutory Regulations.
