TRAINING ON WORKING AT HEIGHT

Training Module

• Introduction to Work at Height
• Basic Theory of WAH and Controls, Anchor design criteria and testing
• Calculation of fall distances and role of shock absorbing lanyards
• Work at Height permitting and roles.
• Basic Theory on WAH Post Fall Recovery Plans, Options and Hardware
• Medical Aspects when selecting WAH personnel
• Practical Training in WAH fall protection systems – Fall Restraints systems, fall restriction systems & Fall arrest systems, Anchor point Selections, walking and movement using double lanyards over scaffold and ladders  – typically a scaffold or structures should be used to practice and observe double lanyard movement, experience of a harness and trauma prevention devices.
• Practical Training in WAH Rescue Basics
• Theoretical and Practical use of fixed CAT ladders and access ladders
• Theory and Practice in Use of Elevated Platforms (Lafarge Nigeria will provide platform and operator)
• Assessment – theoretical and practical in WAH and permitting / using WAH systems.

We would like to propose the below;

1. A scaffold will be erected for practical purposes
2. An elevated platform/scissors lift/cherry picker  will be used for practical purposes
3. Training shall meet the requirement of OSHA : 29 CFR 1910; and 1926.502 and UK Work at Height Regulations 2005

 DELIVERABLES

• CD containing course materials, videos, regulations etc
• Handout copies of OSHA Scaffold Manual
• Trade Test Certificates ( if needed)
