Do I require training to carry out a height rescue?
The simple answer is YES! Here at Platinum Safety and Training, we make it easy when it comes to helping you decide what training you need in order to maintain a safe and compliant workplace!
As per legislation (law), the Work Health & Safety Regulations 2017, states all employers and employees, who implement a "fall arrest system" as a measure of control for the hazard of height, have a duty of care to have a tested and rehearsed rescue plan ready with trained, competent persons and correct equipment to implement immediately to minimise the risk of suspension intolerance from a fallen worker.
Working at heights is simply defined as “if there is a risk of a fall from one level to another, that is likely to cause injury”. With this being said, if you or anyone now work at heights, we need to have the skills and knowledge to ensure everything is being done to create the safest work environment possible.
Platinum Safety’s nationally recognised training course Height Safety Supervisor have already assisted thousands of workers achieve the required skills and knowledge to maintain a high safety standard within the height industry.
