Hi All,

I have been tasked with delivering training to candidates for the new CSCS card scheme which kicked in at the beginning of July. It will be externally verified by SQA as we are an approved learning centre. There is more than just the touch screen test to this now and candidates have to sit and pass 5 learning outcomes which cover most site based topics. Apart from the usual P-Point delivery and DVDs, I was wondering if anyone has any practical exercises on Working at Height that can be carried out in the classroom setting. Not looking for Q&A stuff as I have plenty and don't want to lose my groups with too much of that. I've carried out a search on here but cant seem to find much on it.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance,
Bryan

Not really sure what practical exercises for W@H you are looking for, the subject entails many different methods and equipment. That said, a simple exercise could be working from ladders to include the use of caribiners, lanyards, eye bolts/strap, etc. The argument being that ladders are arguably the most common and dangerous pieces of kit which many people do not fully appreciate. It is also a relatively easy exercise to carry out in a classroom environment, as long as the ceiling is not too low!

I use ladder and equipment inspection as part of my training courses. I have a defective ladder and have put defects onto harnesses etc and following the powerpoint presentations in the morning after lunch I use this as a guide to their understanding and have they listened and taken in what was covered.
Took a while to get the equipment but it does promote discussion especially when they usually all miss the same defect on the harness.

Thanks for your input Martin & Ray Rapp.

Seems like a great idea to have some physical stuff to show after the P/Point presentation and as said there will, no doubt, be plenty to discuss. I'll have to go and see if I can scrounge some materials from the stores.

Many thanks,
Bryan
