Corporate Training By Zack Academy - 8-Hour Scaffolding Competent Person - Cal/OSHA

This 8-Hour Scaffolding Competent Person - Cal/OSHA course is designed to provide scaffold erectors with the knowledge of regulations, safety guidelines, and procedures needed to recognize and prevent workplace hazards.
