FALLS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAJORITY OF ACCIDENTS IN THE WORK PLACE, UNDER THE WORK AT HEIGHT REGULATIONS 2005, IF A WORKER IS GIVEN A TASK WHERE A RISK OF A FALL STILL REMAINS THEN A RESCUE PLAN MUST BE PUT IN PLACE BEFORE ANY WORK COMMENCES
This unique course has been developed to assist our clients to ensure adequate plans have been developed to ensure height workers who rely on fall arrest measures for protection can be rescued safely in the event of a fall occuring
All delegates will in turn act as a casualty in a harness whilst a team member effects a rescue from height using a Gotcha Rescue Kit.
