I'm a bit stuck where to go on this one.......
We have a very few applications on our site (Manufacturing), where the guys need to use harnesses and fall arrest lanyards (e.g. working on top of equipment and on top of silos with guardrails). I want the guys to be trained how to inspect, fit and use the kit properly etc. but the business is moving towards a preference for having an in-house trainer rather than an external one.
I am familiar with the use of the basic fall arrest equipment, but have no formal training or certs etc. So, is there a recognised course that I could go on to enable me to train out simple fall arrest techniques in-house, and which would stand up under scrutiny from external enforcement as proof of competency?
Or should I just say 'can't be done' and push the business to stick to external trainers?
Many thanks!

aunty,
Is there an advantage in getting an external trainer to carry out the training / refresher training in-house (purpose built assembly on one of your sites)? This assembly could replicate the related WAH scenario(s) they will face and therefore, the training could include specific rescue techniques etc (obviously only viable if the training is regular / numbers).
It could save on costs (still in-house - although the assembly might initially cost some) but you still have the benefit of an experienced trainer.
We did a similar thing, although from memory the assembly was scaffold built and there was confusion regarding the inspection requirements and a static 'indoor' (in the warehouse) scaffold assembly.
Aside from that, it did work as there was quite a demand for it in our industry.
Good luck!
