training & certification
Every day site operatives climb ladders, work on platforms, scaffolding and carry out roof work without giving a thought to the risks involved. Most of the workers will end the day without incident. But, over the course of the year, as many as 60 of them will fall to their deaths while a further 4000 will suffer serious injury.
Approximately 60% of all fatalities in the construction industry are the result of a fall, and a fall of less than 2 metres. Many of these fatalities could have been avoided, had the individual been using the appropriate Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) and received proper and adequate training in its use.
Persons not using the correct PPE, or attempting to use it without proper and adequate training are a danger to themselves and others, and are committing an unlawful act that could lead to prosecution. It is essential that operatives have the appropriate PPE for the task and have adequate training in all aspects of its correct use, care and maintenance.
