Work at height training

The company recently launched an initial programme of five courses covering the main elements of working at height for employers and their workers:

• Introduction to working at height – a half-day, classroom-based session that helps delegates identify the safest and most suitable work methods and equipment via risk assessment and the hierarchy of controls.
• Personal fall protection equipment: selection, use and maintenance – this half-day, classroom-based course covers selection, safe use and appropriate inspection and maintenance regimes for a range of fall-protection equipment. 
• Inspection of personal fall protection equipment – a full day course comprising theory and practice this is aimed at those responsible for conduction three or six-monthly recorded inspections of harness, lanyards and fall-arresters.
• Planning and managing work at height – this full-day course is suitable for those who plan, manage or supervise work-at-height activity and covers hazard identification, risk assessment, accident reporting, inspection and maintenance regimes and planning for rescue.
• Rescue from height –  this full-day, practical course gives delegates the knowledge and skills to rescue someone who, in the event of a fall, is incapacitated, suspended, or in a position requiring emergency self-evacuation. 

All courses can be held on the client’s site, so there are no travel and accommodation costs for delegates, and time off work is kept to a minimum. Delegates are trained in the environment in which they work, in small groups of six or 12, by experienced JSP tutors.
