Who is this course for?
Those who require certification in the control, maintenance and examination of Personal Fall Protection Equipment. Rope access supervisors, safety supervisors and those responsible for worksites or stores will benefit from this course.
Current UK legislation, including the Work at Height Regulations and LOLER, require work at height equipment to be thoroughly examined at regular intervals by a ‘competent person’. This course teaches candidates how to systematically manage and inspect Personal Protective Equipment for work at height (collectively called Personal Fall Protection Equipment) throughout its lifetime.
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 external moderator, we deem you ‘competent’ to be able to undertake thorough examinations of equipment that we verify 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.
