Please advise as to what level of competency (relating to working at height)would be expected of a sub-contractor working from a cherry picker supplied by the principal contractor on the rail infrastructure.
Machine, machine operator and harnesses are all supplied by the principal contractor and the task does not involve leaning out, machine supervisor/COSS present etc.
Thanks in advance.

If they are simply working in the basket then no formal training is necessary.
They will need a briefing on the methodology, attachment points for fall arrest (are they trained to use fall arrest/harnesses?), do's and don'ts while in the basket, communications, emergency procedure etc. before starting work, all this will be under the control of the Principal Contractor.
If a COSS is present then there will be a SSOW under RIMINI the COSS briefing will address any rail infrastructure factors e.g. T2/T3, Isolations etc.

It would the same as anywhere else; a trained operative with proof of competency, such as IPAF license or similar, including support documentation and appropriate additional kit as per job requirements.This should all come through your PC who will no doubt arrange with any SC's they are to use.

No, personnel are not trained in the use of fall/arrest harnesses. Does the fitting and correct adjustment of harnesses come under the principal contractors arrangements or should we be looking to train our people formally?
If so what courses would be suitable?
Thanks for advice given so far.
