INTRODUCTION

A practical and theoretical enhancement to PHS Training 1 to allow officers to safely access all ranges of structures, using either pre-installed or temporary equipment.

All officers will be fully conversant with a pre-selected rescue system.

 

COURSE SYLLABUS

Theory

In addition to PHS Training 1:

  • The effects of fall factors
  • Suitable selection of equipment for the intended task
  • The need for careful assessment of rescue implications prior to commencing work.

 

Practical

  • Anchor Selection
  • Work Restraint Systems
  • Work Position Systems
  • Fall Arrest systems
  • Exposure to Height
  • Use of inertia devices
  • The use of dynamic life-lining systems in fall protection
  • Setting up simple hauling systems
  • The use of pre-assembled rescue kit

 

The above work systems must be used and understood by all officers and their correct application explored.

  • Correct fitting and adjustment of Fall Arrest and Work Positioning harnesses by all officers.
  • The safe use of all styles of Fall Arrest Lanyards
  • Ladder ascent and descent using in-situ permanent systems
  • Ladder ascent and descent using temporary systems
  • Installation of flexible line fall arrest systems
  • The use of horizontal trans-fastener type systems
  • The use of temporary horizontal line systems
  • Use and limitations of adjustable work positioning lanyard
  • The use of restraint systems and the potential variations
  • Importance of rescue provision

 

All of the practical systems must be demonstrated and their correct applications understood by all delegates in order to complete the course.
