Food safety Course in Pakistan
Food safety is essential for public health and regulatory compliance, as improper handling or storage can cause illnesses, legal issues, and reputational damage. The Food Safety Course at New Pak Technical Training Centre provides practical skills and theoretical knowledge to manage, inspect, and maintain safe food practices across restaurants, factories, catering services, and retail outlets. With rising hygiene standards in Pakistan and abroad, trained professionals are in high demand, opening career opportunities as Food Safety Officers, Quality Control Inspectors, or food safety consultants, while ensuring compliance with national and international regulations.
Course Overview
Scaffolding is the backbone of any major construction site, but it is also one of the most dangerous structures if not managed correctly. At New Pak Technical Training Centre, our Scaffolding Inspector course prepares you to be the “Competent Person” responsible for the life and limb of every worker above the ground. You will learn to perform rigorous inspections, identify structural weaknesses, and certify that a scaffold is safe for use according to international laws.
Why Choose Our Scaffolding Inspector Program?
- International Compliance: Our curriculum is built on OSHA 29 CFR 1926.451 and BS EN 12811 (British/European) standards, ensuring your certification is recognized globally.
- Tagging System Authority: Master the professional “Scaff-Tag” system (Red/Yellow/Green) to control site access and ensure compliance.
- High-Risk Industry Ready: This course is a mandatory requirement for safety roles in the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, and High-Rise Construction sectors in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.
- Load Physics & Engineering: Learn the math behind a safe build, calculating load-bearing capacities and height-to-base ratios.
Detailed Course Modules
06 | Months Certificate

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I Need To Be A Professional Scaffolder To Join This Course?
While experience in construction helps, it is not mandatory. This course is for those who want to inspect and manage the safety of the work, rather than just the physical labor of erecting it.
How Often Must A Scaffold Be Inspected?
According to international standards, a scaffold must be inspected before first use, at least every 7 days thereafter, and after any occurrence (like high winds or an accident) that could affect its stability.
Is There A Job Market For This In Pakistan?
Yes. Major infrastructure projects, dams, and multi-story plazas in cities like Rawalpindi and Karachi now require dedicated Scaffolding Inspectors to comply with modern insurance and safety laws.
