Harness and Lanyard Training

Working at height raises a number of safety risks it is any employers responsibility to minimise, so for businesses regularly utilising mobile elevated working platforms and cherry pickers our safety training is ideal.

Our courses covering fall arrest harnesses, lanyard inspection and lanyard appreciation are real safety essentials for people regularly working at height such as on mobile elevated working platforms. Covering the wide range of health and safety legislation and recommendations relevant to work at height, the course also informs on making the right choice in safety harness and lanyard as well as proper care, storage and checks that should be regularly carried out on it.

On completing the course delegates will have gained a comprehensive understanding of the various regulations applicable to their work, the safest ways to go about it and their individual responsibilities to themselves, co-workers and the general public. The training course can be provided as an add-on for mobile elevated working platform and boom lift operator training.
