Harness - Rooftop Safety

This course is aimed at personnel who are involved in working on, pitched, flat, spire, trussed or curved roofs. With emphasis being on the safe use of the many types of anchor systems that may be used. This course also includes the pre use inspection and correct fitting of fall arrest harnesses. Operatives will gain a thorough knowledge of the difference between fall arrest and fall restraint.
