Safety Harness & Lanyard Training
Over the years when we’ve conducted this training course, we’ve found on average 8 out of 10 people have been issued the wrong type of safety harness and/or lanyard which resulted in them having little or no protection.
This is a practical course essential for users of fall arrest equipment; also useful for supervisors and managers, business owners and buyers of PPE equipment to ensure all buyers and users understand which kit they should be purchasing, issuing and using to offer full protection to operatives. It also shows how to properly inspect kit.
