Check whether SAIA's Journeyperson scaffold-training program is available to a US-based apprentice before recommending it.

Steps

1. Pull SAIA's training-and-education pages and class descriptions to confirm current program structure (Level 1/2/Specialty apprentice tiers with documented on-the-job hour requirements).
2. Confirm the Journeyperson Program's actual geographic availability directly on saia.org before recommending it to a US contractor — available research indicates this specific program track is offered in Canada only.
3. If the client is US-based, identify SAIA's actual US-facing offering instead: SAIA University (SAIAU) online/in-person training and the SAIA Accredited Training Institute (ATI) network.
4. Cross-check the current 'Accredited Training Institutions' PDF SAIA publishes for a location-specific provider list.
5. Confirm OSHA's own training mandate (1926.454) is satisfied by employer-provided or third-party training regardless of SAIA accreditation — SAIA accreditation is a quality signal, not a legal requirement.
