“Scaffolding is almost an indispensable auxiliary equipment for all production activities. The training for Inspectors focuses on technical aspects, while that for Scaffolding Supervisors emphasizes management. Both courses have helped me gain a deeper understanding of scaffolding inspection and management, greatly improving the safety of construction with scaffolding and protecting users.”
