 Course Description  

Focuses on the safe erection of tube and clamp structure supported/suspended scaffolds. Tube and clamp is a popular choice for structure supported/suspended scaffolds. Its use may help save costs by eliminating hundreds of parts that supported scaffolds can require. Lessons will focus on the proper assembly of the ties used to attach these suspended scaffolds to structures along with a variety of the different ways these scaffold platforms are constructed.
