Why is training necessary?


In accordance with the Working Conditions Act, as an employer you must fulfill your duty of care by ensuring:

  • A safe workplace (Article 3)
  • Correct equipment for the work (article 3)
  • Adequatie instruction for personnel (article 8)
  • A rescue plan (Article 3)


Working with fall protection means working with an increased risk. Training ensures that your employees are aware of the laws and regulations regarding working at height and depth. In addition, your employees will learn about the PPE for fall protection that they work with.

The right equipment and instruction alone are not enough. A rescue plan is also mandatory. Calling on the emergency services is often not sufficient. When working at height and depth, your employees may be in places that the emergency services cannot reach.

 


What will your employees know after training?


Basic knowledge of laws and regulations regarding working at heights and depths
Influences of external factors when working at heights and depths (weather influences, environmental influences, etc.)
Knowledge of the most common fall protection equipment (fall lines, positioning lines, fall arrest blocks, vertical and horizontal systems)
The possible consequences of a fall
Working with and on ladders and aerial work platforms, specific techniques for warehouses, telecommunications, and wind turbines.
