Why take this course?
Falls from height can occur at any time and are a leading cause of serious injury and death on many job sites. A fall arrest safety harness can minimise the consequences of a fall from height, but anyone who uses a safety harness for working at height must be trained to use it correctly to keep their workplace safe.
This safety harness training course explains your responsibilities for using a safety harness correctly at work. It teaches you to recognise and manage the risks associated with using safety harnesses, how to put on a safety harness correctly, including performing safety checks and fitting it, and how to maintain a harness through proper cleaning and storage procedures, preventing damage and ensuring it is safe to use. It also outlines how to respond if someone falls in their harness. The course provides foundational knowledge that you can apply during practical safety harness training.
