Working at Height: Moving Safely on Equipped Sites
Your movements on an equipped site need to remain controlled throughout work at height. Identify fall hazards, select suitable protection and plan your movements according to site conditions. Strengthen your practices to work methodically and remain alert.
- Duration
- 1 day 7 hours
- Code
- SST005FR Code
Presentation
In professional settings, working at height on sites already equipped with safety systems requires specialist skills to ensure safety and control risks. This course is specifically designed for professionals who need to move around structures or equipment fitted with safety systems such as rails, lifelines, access platforms and anchors. It provides foundational skills and the right habits for moving safely in these complex, often technical environments.
This one-day course is structured around theoretical and practical modules. You will cover regulations and the physics of falls, access methods, and collective and personal protection, with a focus on selecting and checking fall-protection PPE. The practical module lets you put on equipment, use installed systems such as rails, anchors and lifelines, and work on specific structures such as access platforms and nacelle roofs. Evacuation and incident management simulations also help strengthen your responsiveness.
By the end of the course, you will be able to move independently and remain alert on equipped structures and respond appropriately to an emergency or evacuation situation. You will understand the fall-protection equipment installed on site, use fixed or mobile safety systems effectively and actively contribute to fall prevention and safety at height.
Objectives
By the end of this course on working at height on equipped sites, you will be able to:
- identify fall-protection equipment and collective protection installed on a site;
- master the use of fixed or mobile safety systems such as rails, lifelines and anchors;
- move independently and remain alert on equipped structures such as access platforms or wind turbines;
- implement the appropriate procedure in an emergency or evacuation situation.
Program
Theoretical modules
1. Regulatory framework and context for work at height
- Review of legal provisions, key figures and responsibilities relating to work at height.
2. The physics of falls
- Understand the fundamental laws of falling and their effects on the human body.
3. Access methods and protection
- Introduction to access equipment and collective and personal protection, including their standards and characteristics.
- Select, inspect and check the conformity of fall-protection personal protective equipment (PPE).
4. Organising the work
- Understand equipment requirements and checks before setting up.
- Adjust site-specific PPE.
5. Evacuation and incident management
- Know how to evacuate a team member, raise the alarm and manage stress.
Practical modules
1. Using systems installed on site
- Practise using rails, anchors, lifelines and horizontal/vertical supports.
2. Working on specific structures
- Practise working on access platforms, wind turbine nacelle roofs and rigid structures.
3. Final skills validation
- Complete varied practical scenarios to validate working postures and understanding of risks.
Audience
This course is intended for:
- professionals who need to work at height on structures or equipment already fitted with safety systems such as rails, lifelines, access platforms and anchors;
- anyone exposed to fall hazards on structures or machines with installed protective equipment, including rails, access platforms, wind turbines and lifelines.
