About David
David Tariah Barango is a scaffold supervisor, inspector and trainer with a client-satisfaction record that spans more than thirty years in the oil and gas industry. He has delivered work onshore and offshore as a trainer, assessor, inspector and team manager, always within the agreed scope, budget and schedule.
He took part as scaffold erection supervisor and inspector in the construction of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) gas processing complex in Bonny, Rivers State, and reached 1 million hours without LTI while working as a scaffold engineer and inspector.
His career followed the ladder he now teaches: scaffolder, leadsman, supervisor, inspector, then instructor. That hands-on path is why his training stays practical and why his crews get safety, quality and productivity together.
He is known for his commitment to safety and operational excellence, for working well with diverse teams, clients and contractors, and for mentoring the next generation of scaffolders.

Health, safety and environment
No task is so important that we cannot find a safe way to do it. Before work starts we assess hazards, enforce permit-to-work and working-at-height controls, and require PPE and fall protection.
- Pre-task risk assessment and toolbox talks
- Inspection and tagging of scaffolds and equipment before use
- Mandatory PPE and fall-protection requirements
- Incident and near-miss reporting with corrective action
- Responsible waste handling and environmental protection
