About the Course:

The Scaffold Engineer Training program is a specialized course designed to develop the technical expertise required to design, plan, and evaluate scaffolding systems for safe and efficient use in industrial, construction, and maintenance environments. This training focuses on engineering principles, load calculations, structural design, and regulatory compliance to ensure scaffolds are both safe and optimized for operational needs.

Purpose:

To equip engineers and technical professionals with the competence to design and verify scaffold structures, conduct risk assessments, and ensure all scaffolds meet safety and performance standards.

Key Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Understand the engineering design principles of scaffolding systems.

• Perform load and stress calculations for various scaffold configurations.

• Develop scaffold design drawings and plans according to standards.

• Assess and approve scaffold designs for stability and safety.

• Apply relevant codes and regulations (e.g., OSHA, BS EN 12811, ISO 45001).

• Collaborate with scaffold inspectors and site supervisors to maintain safe operations.

Core Modules:

1. Introduction to Scaffold Engineering and Safety Standards

2. Scaffold Design Types and Applications

3. Load Analysis and Structural Calculations

4. Design Drawings, Schematics, and Documentation

5. Stability, Anchorage, and Bracing Methods

6. Risk Assessment and Design Verification

7. Inspection, Maintenance, and Tagging Coordination

8. Case Studies and Practical Design Exercises

Target Participants:

• Civil, Structural, and Mechanical Engineers

• Safety and Project Engineers

• Construction Managers and Supervisors

• Experienced Scaffold Inspectors advancing to engineering roles

Course Duration:

Typically 3–5 days, combining theory, design workshops, and assessment exercises.

Certification:

Successful participants will receive a Certified Scaffold Engineer credential, demonstrating technical competence in scaffold design, verification, and safety compliance.

Course Outcome:

Graduates of this program will be qualified to design, review, and approve scaffolding systems, ensuring structural safety, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency across diverse work environments.
