Scaffolder qualification training

Become a scaffolder 

Scaffold erectors are construction workers and their main task is to erect and dismantle scaffolding correctly. It is the worker's responsibility to erect the entire scaffolding structure correctly and safely. Scaffolders must be able to read technical drawings and building plans in order to carry out the assembly correctly. Those wishing to become installers must undergo vocational training in this field and then pass a vocational exam. Our company ,,OSO" will prepare you to pass the exam and receive the necessary authorisations.

What is scaffolding? 

Scaffolding is a structure usually made of metal to allow other construction workers access to the upper floors of a building. They are made up of vertical support poles, on which horizontal poles are fixed, and on which a platform made of planks is laid. In more recent constructions, lightweight metal prefabricated elements are laid on top of the deck. The vertical poles, on the other hand, are made of steel tubes.
