ABOUT THE SEMINAR
This Seminar is of special interest to companies with employees who use fall protection equipment. Some very common types of this equipment, the self-retracting devices (a.k.a.VG retractable lifelines, safety blocks) which complied with the CSA Z259.2-79 Standard, in most cases, do not comply automatically with the Z259.2.2-98 (R2004) Standard that replaced the old one. The participants will be shown how, with a minimum expense, to achieve the compliance with this new Standard.
Basic fall protection training is now available from several training providers, including corporations' own HR/Safety/Training departments. Our new & unique "Qualified Inspector of Fall Protection Equipment" Seminar was developed for people who already know what harnesses, shock absorbers, horizontal lifelines and other fall arrest system components are. Our Seminar goes one step further and trains participants in inspecting fall protection equipment, and in setting up their own inspection program.
The training method employed by us is the hands-on inspection of real equipment of which the majority was heavily used. The participants will work in small teams (not larger than 4 people), and move from one equipment table to the next. Everybody has his/her sample to inspect and to fill-in the inspection forms. The inspected equipment includes harnesses, lanyards, shock absorbers, fall arresters and lifelines, self-retracting (a.k.a. retractable) lifelines and lanyards, rescue/control descent devices, horizontal lifelines, anchorage attachments and more. The makes come from most major North American manufacturers and suppliers.
This unique, not available from any other training provider, Seminar is an opportunity to enhance employee safety, to comply with regulations, and to save money in the process by learning how to prolong the service life of your equipment the safe way. On the other hand, it assists to remove from use such equipment which is no longer reliable and may fail during fall arrest.
YOUR COMPANY WILL BENEFIT FROM:
- Increased employee safety
- $$ savings due to longer service life of equipment
- In-house, Qualified Inspectors as required by OSH regulations
- Compliance with the due diligence requirements
- Increased effectiveness of your fall protection program
- Lower, potential liability exposure
WHAT MAKES OUR SEMINAR DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE:
- Its scope is not limited to any single manufacturer or supplier
- It was developed by recognized fall protection experts who gained their knowledge while working for over 20 years for a major user of fall protection equipment
- The graduates can use the Seminar Manual either directly or as a blueprint to develop their own equipment inspection program
