Height Safety Awareness Training – 4 Hours

This course is designed for managers and supervisors who are not required to work at height, but who are responsible for employees & contractors working at heights on your site.  If an employer has personnel working where they can fall from one to level to another, and there is a risk of injury, provision is to be made to prevent falls, appropriate equipment is to be made available and appropriate training is to be given.

Please make yourself aware  of the National Workplace Health and Safety Act, and in particular the National Code Of Practice for “Managing the Risks of Falls at the Workplace. Managing_the_Risk_of_Falls_at_Workplaces

The course is a classroom session that covers:

• Regulatory requirements
• Risk Assessment & Hierarchy of Controls
• When Fall Prevention is Required
• Alternate Means of Accessing Heights
• Height Safety Equipment
• Safe Anchoring
• Pre & Post Operational Checks
• Equipment Maintenance
• Rescue Requirements

This is a four hour session that commences at 7:30am, and is fact the first four hours of the Safe Working @ Heights Course.

• Participants must be able to communicate in English, and must be able to fill out all necessary documentation.
• We can train people where English is an issue, but it needs to be on a specially scheduled programme and you will need to provide an interpreter.
