4-Hour Supported Scaffold User Safety Training
This course complies with the training requirements of the New York City Department of Buildings Local Law 52 of 2005. The law requires a permit for any supported scaffold that is forty feet (40’) or more in height. In addition, anyone who uses a supported scaffold is required to have a supported scaffold user certificate. The certificate is valid for four (4) years.
According to the New York City Department of Buildings:
"The training requirements for users of supported scaffolds:
- No individual may use a supported scaffold without a scaffold user certificate
- A user certificate must be obtained from OSHA, an OSHA-trained or certified provider, or a provider of a four-(4) hour training course that has been reviewed by the New York City Department of Buildings."
