Improve Height Safety with Training Packages from Anchor Safe
Announcement posted by Anchor Safe Systems 11 Feb 2014
Providing adequate height safety equipment and fittings to workplaces is a great start for reducing the number of injuries sustained by workers and contractors each year. However, in order for any fall arrest systems in place to be fully effective, it’s important that management, staff, and contractors are properly trained in all aspects of height safety to accredited standards.
26 January 2014 – Anyone expected to work at heights will understand the inherent hazards associated with being in an elevated position while completing a task. For the most part, Australian business owners are extremely responsible about providing adequate height safety systems to minimise the risk of injury to workers.
However, regardless of the type of height safety equipment in place, it’s been legislated that workers and anyone who may be directing or managing people required to work at height complete fully accredited height safety training programs.
Proper instruction in the use of static line systems or roof safety systems can be invaluable to people who rely on those particular height safety measures for their own protection. Likewise, professional training can help workers to more fully understand the correct use of fall arrest systems, including wearing and fitting harnesses correctly for their own personal protection.
Even in the event of a building owner or construction site installing roof walkway systems to increase worker safety, the correct use of roof access systems to reach the site in the first place can be a crucial step in enhancing worker safety.
There are numerous height safety training packages available from the experts at Anchor Safe. Their accredited training packages result in nationally recognised competency in a range of fall protection systems, including OHS awareness for those working at heights.
