Who is this course for?

Personnel who are required to work at height. These may include maintenance engineers, mast and tower climbers or any industry where there is a risk of falls from height.

This training course is designed to provide you with the skills to enable safe and efficient work at height using full body harnesses, energy absorbing lanyards and work positioning lanyards.
Use of mobile fall arresters and horizontal lifelines is also covered. We will provide you with a broad understanding of the uses and limitations of the equipment, fall arrest and work positioning techniques used.
