Booking Procedure

Course bookings can only be made by using the Lyon Equipment course booking form or via our website.  Directions and course start times will be sent on receipt of full payment.

Payment*

The course fee must be paid in full no later than 15 working days prior to the start of the course.  A provisional booking will not be accepted as confirmed until full payment is received.  Lyon Equipment reserves the right to re-allocate the course place to another delegate if fees are not paid on time.  All transfer charges must be paid on receipt of the invoice.  Please note that these payment conditions override any credit terms held by existing account customers.

Cancelling Courses*

All cancellations must be made at least 15 working days prior to the start of the course.  If the booking is cancelled within 15 working days prior to the start date of the course, or if a delegate fails to attend the course, there will be no refund of fees.

Transferring Courses*

If within 15 working days prior to the original course date, a delegate wishes to transfer a booking to a later date, there will be a surcharge of 25% of the course fee.  Course bookings cannot be transferred more than once.  If that transfer is subsequently cancelled the surcharge will remain payable.

Changing Delegate Details

There will be no charge if a substitute person wishes to replace the original delegate.  Please inform our office of any change to the original booking prior to the course commencing.

STATEMENT OF MEDICAL CONDITION

It should be understood that work at height courses, of all levels, place both physical and mental demands on those taking part.  Ideally, candidates will be in possession of an appropriate full industrial medical certificate.  The primary purpose of a medical fitness assessment for work is to ensure that an individual is fit to perform the task they are required to carry out, without putting their own or others’ (e.g., work colleagues or fellow training course delegates) health and safety at risk.  Certain medical conditions are definite contra-indications to safe and effective work at height.  These conditions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Alcohol or drug dependence
• Diabetes
• High or low blood pressure
• Epilepsy, fits, blackouts
• Fear of heights
• Vertigo, giddiness, difficulty with balance
• Heart disease, chest pain
• Impaired limb function
• Musculoskeletal issues, e.g., bad back, strains, sprains
• Obesity
• Psychiatric illness 

If any of the conditions listed above apply to you, please advise us.  You will not necessarily be excluded from all elements of the training course.  Please also inform us if you are at present on any form of medication (e.g., salbutamol for asthma), receiving treatment or medical advice that may affect your fitness to work at height.  If you do not have a medical certificate addressing these points, before you commence training we require you to sign the following statement:

"To the best of my knowledge I do not suffer from any mental or physical condition, including, but not limited to, those mentioned above, which could interfere with my ability to work at height in a satisfactory and safe manner or put myself or others at risk through my participation in these activities.” 

We reserve the right to refuse training to any person without an appropriate medical certificate or who is unwilling to sign the above statement.
