Safe Use and Inspection of Harnesses and Lanyards
Introduction
The HSE estimate that about half of all fatalities are attributed to work at height. When relying on personal fall protection it is essential that it is in good condition and used correctly. The Work at Height Regulations state that a personal fall protection system shall be used only if the user and a sufficient number of available persons have received adequate training specific to the associated tasks, including rescue procedures.
This course will familiarise delegates with the correct and safe use of harnesses, lanyards and anchor points for fall prevention and fall protection. The course will give attendees an awareness of hazards associated with working at height and effective control measures. Basic awareness training regarding emergency procedures will also be provided. This does not include design of rescue plans or practical training in rescue.
Practical Elements: Delegates will learn how to put on and safely adjust a harness and clip into an anchorage point. No practice at height will be carried out.
