I have read the WAH regs, ACOP, etc & my view is if you work at height using a harness then as the later states you must be trained & competent, Although i have a sub contractor that states harness training is sufficient & within the regs for working at heigh-What do you think??

There are more elements to W@H Training than just the safe use of Harnesses. The W@H Regs state the necessity to avoid W@H if possible and then prevent a person from falling.
The use of harnesses is further down the hierarchy and almost classed as a last resort.
Simply not enough training, imo

Mr H & S

You keep coming up with some crackers concerning cranes.

This question obviously relates to the rigging of Crawler Cranes IMO if they have got harness Training Certificates then that is a bonus.

I would think you will find they are all CPCS card holders which means they have done a course in the Rigging and Operating of Crawler Cranes.

If you delve even further they are probably manufacturer trained.

The training given on these 2 courses would cover working at height as well.

Although you have not said I would think you are you are putting up wind farms therefore using reputable contractors and I would imagine if you ask for more evidence in their training and competence you will get it.

To finish on a lighter note if it is Trawler Cranes I know nothing about fishing.
