Course Overview - Why Take This Course?

This training course covers all aspects of work position, fall restraint, fall arrest lanyards. The course is a mix of theory with practical application from course delegates.

Careful consideration must be given to ensure that the safest solution is chosen when working at height.

There are 3 categories of work

1. Work Restraint
This category of work covers techniques that help to restrict the worker from falling over the edge.

2. Work Position
The lanyard used in this category is designed to suspend the worker in their work position. When using this type of lanyard, it is advised that you have a backup system in place.

3. Fall Arrest
This category is the only one that allows a fall to take place. The fall arrest reacts by arresting the fall in a controlled manner. The most important factor is to make sure that when using fall arrest that you have adequate clearance and there are no obstacles during a fall.

Our 5* Reviews

“Great training facilities and great instructor. Richard the training instructor is exceptional and his expertise and methods of training are second to none”

Harry Picken

The training provide by Richard Appleyard covered all of the learning objectives. Apart from the theory I found that use of the personal fall protection equipment highlighted the importance of choosing the correct equipment type.

Billy Courtice

Considering that I have attended a similar course which only covered the theory, I realised that there are trainers out there who understand the core subject of fall arrest.

I personally learnt quite a lot on the operating procedures of fall arrest when using a fall arrest ladder for access onto a horizontal lifeline.

Jack Bilyard

The training course met all of the learning objectives. The practical training was great, this course was better than a previous course that I had attended.

Anthony Child

Excellent training course, I learnt so much on the different types of access equipment for working at height. 

I also benefited from the use of equipment in a practical element.
