Current UK regulations, including the Activity Centres Act 1995, Work at Height (Amendment) Regulations 2007 and the Lifting Operations Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998, require work at height equipment to be thoroughly examined at regular intervals by a ‘competent person’.

This course introduces new techniques and develops candidates’ current knowledge of how to systematically manage and inspect Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for work at height, including mountaineering and caving (collectively called Personal Fall Protection Equipment) throughout its lifetime. The course also looks at water activity PPE such as buoyancy aids and water helmets.

The course covers in detail current legislation and equipment standards, appropriate selection, identification, maintenance and storage of equipment, formal thorough examinations of equipment and the production of appropriate examination regimes and reports.

Topics are covered using a combination of hands-on product inspection training, destructive testing demonstrations and formal presentations.

At the end of the course, following successful completion of a formal assessment and verification by an independent moderator, we certify candidates as ‘competent’ to be able to undertake thorough examinations of equipment that we identify during the course.

Prerequisites

The candidate should have practical experience in the use of Personal Fall Protection Equipment such as that which is required to be examined. Our 1 day PPE Inspection course provides an introduction for those with less experience. The minimum age of candidates is 18 years.
