PPE Recertification

The candidate should have attended and passed the Lyon Equipment 4-day PPE Inspection Competent Person course and have regularly maintained their practical experience in the use and inspection of personal fall protection equipment such as that which is required to be examined. If there has been a period of inactivity, candidates should consider completing the full four day course again.

The revalidation course must be undertaken within the three year period since the last course. The minimum age of candidates is 18 years.

The course includes both theory and practical training including candidate-led workshops and Q&A sessions. There is an end of course practical assessment.
