Hinton Scaffold Solution is an award-winning company dedicated to providing scaffold design and planning, erection, dismantling, inspection, and consulting services to the North American construction industry. Backed by decades of experience in some of Canada’s toughest environments, and armed with a progressive approach to training using innovative technology and data focused project management, their goal is to bring the highest standards of safety and quality to their projects. In recent years, however, Hinton Scaffold has become known as more than just an industry leading provider of scaffold solutions – they have also earned a reputation as a leading provider of scaffold education. Not only are they an accredited training institute able to offer scaffold journeyperson training through the Scaffold & Access Industry Associations’ (SAIA) internationally-recognized standard, they are also the developer behind RISE (Realistic Immersive Safety Education), which utilizes virtual reality technology to create an immersive and realistic environment for hazard awareness training. According to Brandon Marton, CEO, that technology is a “game-changer” in the scaffold industry, and the response from users has been exceedingly positive. “By putting workers in simulated hazardous situations, RISE allows them to experience the potential dangers and consequences of workplace hazards in a safe and controlled setting,” he explains. “This allows workers to develop better hazard recognition and risk assessment skills, which can ultimately lead to a safer and more productive workplace.” “RISE is a game-changing solution that addresses the critical need for effective safety training in the construction industry, and has the potential to revolutionize the way that hazard awareness training is conducted.” Even prior to creating RISE, however, Hinton Scaffold has always strived to improve and enhance scaffold training awareness.
