Scaffolding is a temporary structure used to support workmen and materials while building, repairing or maintaining buildings or any other man-made structure. It is commonly used on construction sites to keep workers safe when work cannot be done at ground level. Advanced scaffolding in Brisbane consists of all basic and intermediate scaffolding including work associated with the use of hung and suspended scaffolds.

Our Advanced Scaffolding course will guide students on how to plan a job effectively, choose and inspect the appropriate plant and equipment for setting up the task in hand and finally erect, alter and dismantle scaffolding at an advanced level that may include the use of hung and suspended scaffolds.
