Safety Harness - Essentials Course

This course is aimed at personnel who wish to gain a good general understanding of work at height safety, in particular, those who are or will be responsible for using safety harnesses, lanyards and associated F.P.E (Fall Protection Equipment) in the work place.

There are no prerequisites required for this course, although a working knowledge of safety harnesses and fall protection equipment is an advantage. Delegates attending this course will gain a comprehensive knowledge of Work at Height Safety, Harness and Lanyard Pre-Use Inspection and Fitting
