“RIIHAN302D Conduct intermediate scaffolding” is a competency-based training course designed to provide individuals with the skills and knowledge required to safely and effectively conduct intermediate-level scaffolding operations in various construction and industrial environments. Intermediate scaffolding operations involve the assembly, modification, and dismantling of more complex scaffolding structures for access, support, and temporary work platforms.
Key components of the course typically include:
- Safety Procedures: Participants learn about advanced safety regulations, hazard identification, risk assessment, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure the safety of themselves and others during intermediate scaffolding operations.
- Equipment Familiarization: The course covers different types of scaffolding systems, components, and accessories, as well as their functions, assembly procedures, and safe handling practices.
- Scaffolding Assembly and Modification: Participants learn how to safely assemble, modify, and dismantle intermediate scaffolding structures, including procedures for erecting frames, braces, platforms, and guardrails, while following manufacturer instructions and industry standards.
- Load Calculations and Structural Stability: The course teaches participants how to calculate loads, assess structural stability, and determine appropriate bracing and support systems to ensure the safety and stability of intermediate scaffolding structures.
- Inspection and Maintenance: Participants learn how to inspect scaffolding components for damage, wear, or defects, and how to perform advanced maintenance tasks such as repairs, replacements, and corrosion protection to ensure the integrity and reliability of scaffolding systems.
Upon successful completion of the course and assessment, participants will have the skills and knowledge necessary to safely and effectively conduct intermediate scaffolding operations, contributing to the productivity and safety of construction and maintenance projects in their respective workplaces.
