Description: This course is aimed at those who have to work in conditions where they could
have a fall causing significant injury, i.e. riggers, camera
operators, technicians, scene hands etc.
The course is also aimed at those who may not actually do the work but manage
work at height or carry out risk
assessments
for
working
at height.
Falls from height are the main cause of fatalities at work and
the Safe Working at Height 2005 Regulations place specific
duties on employers which include providing edequate training.
Most aspects of working at height are
addressed including the use of ladders, scaffolds, mobile
elevated work platforms (MEWPS/cherry pickers) and fall restrain/arrest
equipment.
Part 1 is classroom based with some practical
aspects and Part 2 is fully practical using a suitable structure
such as a scaffold.
