Working at height: operating on towers and vertical structures
Moving on towers and vertical structures requires planned protective measures and techniques. Identify fall risks, select appropriate protection and organise your movements according to site conditions. Strengthen your practices to work methodically and remain vigilant.
- Duration
- 1 day 7 hours
- Code
- SST007FR Code
Presentation
When working at height on towers or similar vertical structures, specialist expertise is essential to ensure safety and control risks. This course is specifically designed for professionals who work on these complex structures, developing the skills needed to move safely and master fall protection personal protective equipment (PPE).
This one-day training programme is organised into 2 modules: one theoretical and one practical. You will cover the rules and basic principles of working at height, different types of fall protection PPE and much more. The practical component familiarises you with PPE use, helps you master the professional techniques needed to move safely at height and simulates realistic work scenarios.
By the end of the course, you will be able to identify hazardous situations, select and use equipment suited to vertical structures, and respond effectively to an incident or critical situation. These skills will enable you to work safely on structures offering partial support and actively contribute to fall prevention and safety at height.
