Safe working at height training
Falls from height are among the most common causes of fatal workplace injury. The training is led by Dejan Dimitrovski — a national instructor licensed by SKYLOTEC (Germany), with over 20 years in occupational safety and instructor experience in the Special Police Forces and the Red Cross emergency rescue unit. The training is hands-on: work restraint and fall arrest systems, correct selection and donning of equipment, and an exercise on a real structure.
What the service covers
- Hierarchy of controls: preventing access, restraint, fall arrest
- The difference between a restraint system and a fall arrest system
- Correct selection, inspection and donning of the harness and associated equipment
- Clearance calculation and fall factor
- Working with self-retracting devices, energy absorbers and horizontal lifelines
- Correct positioning and attachment to an anchor point
- Practical exercise on a real structure or a training rig
- Certificates and records of the training delivered
How the process works
Task assessment
We establish what work at height is actually performed at your site and what equipment you have — the programme is built on that.
Theory
Hierarchy of controls, systems, fall factor and clearance, pre-use inspection of equipment.
Practical exercise
Donning and checking equipment, attaching to an anchor, moving along a horizontal lifeline, working with a self-retracting device.
Certificates
Certificates for participants and records. An annual inspection of your fall protection PPE can be arranged alongside.
Frequently asked questions
From what height does work count as work at height?
The criterion is not height alone but the existence of a fall risk capable of causing injury. Practice starts at two metres, but a fall into an opening or a shaft, or from a lower height onto a hazardous surface, also requires controls.
Do you provide equipment for the training?
Yes, we bring the equipment needed for the exercise. Where you have your own, we recommend training with it — employees learn on the actual equipment and we inspect its condition at the same time.
Do you deliver rescue-from-height training?
The training we offer covers safe work at height and the use of fall protection systems. Rescue and evacuation planning from height is arranged separately for the specific structure.
How often should the training be repeated?
Work at height typically falls under workplaces with increased danger, for which the Act requires a competence check every three years. The equipment itself is inspected annually under EN 365.
