Scaffolds and ladders are commonly used on construction sites. Fatal or disabling injuries continue to result from workers falling from the scaffolding that has been misused or poorly constructed on a construction site. The training will teach employees to recognize the hazards associated with the type of scaffold being used. They should also understand the procedures to control or minimize those hazards.
Our easy to use platform allows you to obtain a Scaffolding Safety training certificate recognized by employers who strive to meet the demands of the legislation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between Online and Blended Training Courses?
Courses marked as online training usually require only theoretical training and evaluation to be compliant. Specific courses marked as blended training may require workplace-specific hands-on practical evaluation.
For such classes, our platform will provide you with theoretical training and evaluation, which you can do online, and a certificate will be issued for that part.
On top of that, we also provide you with templates/resources needed to complete the workplace-specific training. However, the evaluation part of this process is done by a competent person from or contracted by your company. A workplace supervisor or employer usually fills this role.
- How can I find my certificate?
In most cases, this question is addressed to us by individuals who took their training with a different company. As a private company, we can only store and access our customers’ data. Therefore, if you did your training with another company, you must contact them to receive a copy of your certificate.
If you are a customer of eSafetyFirst.com, all you have to do is to Login to your account, and you can, at any time, download a copy of the certificate you received from us.

No.
We currently do not provide such services, and we have no plans to do so. - Are eSafetyFirst courses recognized in the industry?
