Jenkins Academy of Applied Technology
SCF-001 — Employer workplace component
Scaffolds · v1.0.0 · October 22, 2026
Course developed by Todd Jerome Jenkins, MS, CSP.
This online knowledge component does not designate a competent person or authorize scaffold erection, rigging, operation or rescue. The employer must provide actual scaffold-specific training, verify proficiency and implement the applicable design, inspection, supervision and protective arrangements.
Complete this worksheet using the actual workplace and current plan. A blank form or course score is not evidence that the action occurred. Record actual dates and observations. Print or save a completed copy before closing; entries are not automatically stored. Keep private health details out of this worksheet.
| Component | Actual evidence |
|---|---|
| Design and task | Identify actual type, configuration, qualified design, capacity, intended use and applicable additional 1926.452 rules. |
| Inspection and release | Competent-person before-shift and event-triggered inspections; correct defects and verify foundations, bracing, ties, platforms and access. |
| Protective systems | Verify scaffold-specific fall and falling-object protection, electrical clearances, weather controls and safe emergency arrangements. |
| Training and proficiency | Subject-matter-qualified user instruction; competent-person operations training; safe scaffold-specific skills and retraining when indicated. |
| Controlled operations | Competent-person supervision and selected trained crew; actual erection/movement/dismantling sequence, mobile conditions and suspension safeguards where applicable. |
Use the actual work and plan. Arrange clear instruction, questions, teach-back and suitable safe practice. Correct a critical gap before relying on the arrangement. Academy discussions are asynchronous and are not an emergency contact route.
