Height Safety
Comprehensive fall prevention training covering full-body harnesses, lanyard anchorage, scaffolding inspection, and ladder safety standards.
Who it is for
Construction workers, maintenance technicians, telecommunication tower riggers, and facade servicing crews.
What you will learn
- Understand statutory thresholds defining work at height and fall hazard hierarchy
- Perform pre-use safety inspection of full-body harnesses, energy-absorbing lanyards, and snap hooks
- Calculate Total Fall Clearance Distance to prevent ground contact during a fall
- Select certified anchor points capable of sustaining fall arrest forces (typically 22 kN)
- Inspect temporary scaffolds and implement ladder safety (4:1 angle and 3-point contact)
Objectives are proposed syllabus content, shared for your review and adjusted to your facility.
Topics covered
- 1Fall prevention vs. fall arrest: guardrails, work restraint, and full arrest systems
- 2Anatomy of a safety harness: dorsal D-ring, sub-pelvic straps, and impact indicators
- 3Suspension trauma pathophysiology and emergency relief strap deployment
- 4Safe ladder practices, scaffold tagging (green/yellow/red), and mobile tower platforms
Practical activities
- Step-by-step harness donning, adjustment, and fit verification drill
- Pre-use inspection of lanyards, carabiners, and fall arresters for wear and deformation
- Ladder setup angle and securing demonstration
