Fall Protection System Training

Competency is essential when it comes to working at height, especially whilst using personal fall protection systems like lifelines.

Make sure you’re using your systems properly with our on-site training course. We can show you the main features of your fall protection system and explain how to carry out pre-use checks and use the system and any relevant PPE.

Anyone who will be using your system or is responsible for safe work at height should be properly trained on how to use the fall protection system safely and correctly.  This could include maintenance personnel, caretakers and property owners or managers.
