Important to note
This course covers the theoretical and planning part of training in fall protection and working at height. The course does not replace the requirement for practical training and training in the use of fall protection equipment. In order for the training to be complete, the company must also provide practical training in the correct use of harnesses, fasteners, anchorage points and rescue equipment, adapted to the specific work tasks and risk conditions. Practical rescue exercises must also be carried out, and skills should be assessed and documented before work is carried out independently. The company is responsible for local risk assessment, choice of working methods, available equipment, preparedness and ongoing follow-up to ensure fully safe work at height.
