Safe use of harness and fall arrest equipment
Course objectives
This programme is designed for Managers, Supervisors and Operatives who may need to carry out or manage work at height.
Criteria for decision making as to what form of fall arrest system to employ for a given application to ensure the safety of height workers is covered, with references to best current safe practices.
The course syllabus ensures that delegates will be competent to use fall arrest equipment correctly and to follow good safe working practices when working aloft.
We are able to utilise any fall arrest systems in place to carry out practical workshops.
Our clients must provide sufficient harnesses for the inspection and practical donning exercises on this course.
