Hello all
Can anybody help me!
I work in an envrioment where work at height is very common, we use alot of fall restrant and fall arresst equipment. We currently have a company that comes in and carrys out training for a price per head to wear a harness, this certifactae is vaild for 2 years. Is there anyway that the company could train their own trainer up to deliver this training as we have over 150 staff who work at height.
Many thanks

Hi Lee, (or should that be 'high')
In short, yes you can. In a previous role in this company I was in a similar positon and I myself was trained up to deliver the training 'in-house' (it was actually part of that slippery slope that got me into working in H&S).
I would imagine that there are numerous training providers who could do this but I only used the one.
PM if you want the details

as SS said, yes you can use an in-house trainer for this if there is the required competence
Please note that training to wear a harness is only one of the training requirements for WAH. Any one using a harness needs to be trained for Work At Height and all that goes with it including in some cases rescue.

You could always put yourself through RRC's FREE work at height ecourse! For a nominal fee, you can sit an online exam and gain a certificate on completion. http://www.rrc.co.uk/WAH.aspx

Hi Lee, One of the clients we provide H&S to had a similar situation, although not in the numbers you are talking. After some discussion it was decided that they would provide in house training (cost benefit and flexibility of delivery were key). It was also decided to have the same person trained to carry out equipment inspection and maintenance for the same reasons. It might be worth considering. We used Lyon for the training http://www.lyon.co.uk/ but colleagues have used the national rescue and access centre http://www.narc.co.uk/.There are other reputable firms out there and they can be accessed through theWork at Height Safety Association http://www.wahsa.co.uk/Regards
