Course Information (1 or 1.5 Days)
Equip your workforce with essential knowledge and skills through our comprehensive training program. Our staff will guide participants in identifying and demonstrating legislative requirements for safe systems of working at heights.
Participants will gain in-depth insights into the hazards associated with wearing fall arrest harnesses. They will learn how to meticulously check, fit, and proficiently use safety harness systems. Moreover, our training emphasizes the critical aspect of developing and executing effective rescue plans.
This training is highly recommended for workers operating at any height, be it on ladders, scaffolds, or trestles. It's invaluable for those required to use harnesses for Fall Prevention/Restraint (23229) or Fall Arrest (15757) situations. This includes scenarios involving being caught after a fall has occurred or when using any other height equipment as standard practice within their workplace.
Safe Work Practices - Harness Training (US 23229) must be completed before Elevated Work Platform, Height Anchor Point Training (US 15757) and Height Rescue Training (ERT/Pole Rescue).
