A half-day, in-company course that prepares staff to work safely at height under the Work at Height Regulations, with an optional hands-on harness session.
Both options run for half a day at your premises and cover the same working-at-height syllabus. The difference is the hands-on harness session at the end.
Working at height training prepares staff to recognise the hazards of work at height and to take the precautions the law requires. KeyOstas delivers it in half a day at your premises, with an optional hands-on session on selecting, fitting and using a safety harness.
It is for the people who work above ground level, and those who supervise them.
By the end of the half day, every delegate will be able to do the following.
Explain what counts as work at height and clarify the activity.
Identify the hazards and risk factors of working at height.
Adopt sensible precautions following the hierarchy of control in the Work at Height Regulations.
Recognise fragile surfaces and the specific hazards they create.
Select a suitable full body harness for the task.
Fit a harness correctly, ready for use.
Use connecting devices and anchorages, with best-practice clipping on.
Carry out a pre-use inspection of fall protection equipment.
The same syllabus runs in both options; the harness practical is added for the harness version.
Practical, instructor-led training, with no written exam.
A KeyOstas tutor delivers the session at your premises, using your own equipment where suitable.
There is no exam. Understanding is checked through discussion and, on the harness option, the practical.
Every delegate receives a KeyOstas certificate of attendance on completion.
