work at height training

Fall protection training is inevitably a need in the 21st century because buildings anywhere in the world constantly face modernisation demands. Ensuring the safety of people is a constant concern for many builders and employers. This is because more workers are needed to attend to the building's construction and maintenance and with this increase in developments, fall protection training needs to be conducted thoroughly and effectively. If you are a constructor, a building owner or a building maintenance manager, below are the things which should be in your checklist for a safe working environment for your people. Access equipment is a general term for a line up of machines and devices used for working at heights. These range from access platforms, lifts, and ladders. Fall arrest devices consist of harnesses, nets, lifelines or ropes , and static lines. All of these should be part of your height access system and the fall arrest system. Every item should be inspected to ensure that they pass industry standards such as the Occupational Health and Safety and Australian Standards and a regular check up for wear and tear should be one of the SOP's before utilisation. All these equipment should be durable, sturdy and of high quality since these are the main tools which will safeguard the worker's lives.
