We host a range of courses which involve legislation awareness, safe inspection, maintenance and use of ladders – including how to secure them, suspension tests and correct use of the full body harness (EN361:2002, EN1497:1996) and twin lanyards (EN354, EN355, EN362:2004) for safe use of fixed ladders.
The comprehensive training also includes selection and use of equipment, choice of anchor points, safe progressive movement, aid climbing, use and practice of work restraint, work positioning and fall arrest systems, and safe movement of work equipment such as pumps.
All engineers are highly trained in risk assessment of all work at height or difficult access.
