Scaffolding Inspector & Supervisor Training in Dammam
A course for the people who sign scaffolds off and the people who run the erection crews on Saudi plant, shutdown and construction sites. Delegates learn scaffold components and types, inspection checklists, the tagging system, platform loading and tie requirements, so a scaffold is handed over only when it is fit to use. Content is aligned to the scheme your client specifies. Home to our head office, Dammam is the commercial heart of the Eastern Province, close to Aramco's headquarters, King Abdulaziz Port and the 2nd Industrial City.

On completion you receive: Course certificate; Personnel competency card stating inspector or supervisor level as defined by the scheme; Written assessment and practical inspection exercise records.
What is the difference between a scaffold inspector and a scaffold supervisor?+
Commonly the inspector examines completed scaffolds against a checklist and decides whether to tag them for use, while the supervisor directs the erection crew and is accountable for the work. Some client schemes combine or rename the roles, so we align the course to the one you work under.
Will a scaffold inspector certificate be accepted at Aramco or SABIC sites?+
Acceptance is decided by the client or site owner, not by the training provider, and the scheme can change. Some clients require inspectors to hold a card issued under their own scheme, in which case a course certificate alone will not be enough. We build the course around the requirements you give us and confirm the current approval status and reference with you in writing before you book.
