Reducing the likelihood for Fall Arrest by Working Safely at Height
At Leading Edge we have observed that Construction projects are demanding ever faster build programs, with focus being put on time and costs, the result is greater pressure onsite for all trades. Operatives now need to have a higher level of competence in order to work safely at height.
The aim of this course is to keep things simple and real, whist covering all the key areas. The course concentrates on what the operative really needs to know for the type of work being done. Each course is tailored to be `trade specific' focusing on the contractor's package, project access sequence, requirements and restrictions.
Perhaps the most important part of height safety training is engaging and motivating operatives in taking responsibility for the way they work at height.
Training is not just about 'Generic Principles', to us it's about improving site safety, awareness and productivity through site and trade specific guidance.
Contractors own site sequence, restrictions and equipment suitability are considered, therefore the training has direct association and adds real value.
Package considerations
For example, where we need to consider the methodology and height safety requirements of a concrete frame build, providing specific guidance covering slabs, columns, walls, shoring, climbing formwork systems we would consider the following:
The access, sequence and restrictions for traditional erect and strike formwork to table systems and all associated issues, such as leading edges and infill gaps.
Where necessary would also consider:
* Floor heights
* Grid size
* Column arrangements
* Anchorage and edge protection
Whether working on the transfer slab with hazards such as holes for sumps, to core access and sequence using jump and slip-form propriety systems etc.
Understanding your training needs
We train every day on site and we understand how our customers want to work. We adapt and tailor our training to your specific needs so you can work safely at height and improve your operatives confidence and efficiency given your work and trade requirements.
We don't only train in our own equipment but whatever you are currently using, including inertia reels, alsipercha, lifeline and restraint systems etc . Making sure that the equipment you are using it is used appropriately and safely.
Construction trades
All Leading Edge courses are available with greater emphasis for the following trade packages:
There are many more jobs and trades than identified on this list. We have done this type of training onsite and for so long that we really understand your job requirements and can tailor our course to match your needs specifically.
This height safety training course has been thoroughly developed with our extensive knowledge and firsthand experience of how thing really happen on construction sites. The course is designed with the different packages, scope of work, exposure and available access in mind to provide the optimum training experience to suit the capability of each individual operative.
We recognise that returning to the 'classroom' can be daunting and nerve wrecking for some of our candidates, especially considering the course content includes the requirement of an examination upon completion. This is why we ensure all of our courses are delivered in a fresh and enthusiastic manner to make every candidate's learning experience as enjoyable as possible. This will in turn reduce stress during the training course and help information retention overall.
