PRE-COURSE INSTRUCTIONS AND ENTRY
REQUIREMENTS
– SpanSet Module 1 (1 Day duration for modules 1 and 2)
– All delegates must be able to certify that they are physically fit and have no medical conditions that might prevent them working at height. (A list of conditions
that could affect practical training and work at height are available on request.)
– SpanSet reserves the right to exclude unsuitable delegates from training courses.
– Delegate must be 18 years or over.

OVERVIEW
– This course is designed for those who intend to work at height using temporary fall arrest equipment / systems of work.
– On completion of the course they should be able to safely install and use their own personal fall arrest equipment.
– The course is aimed at those whose work includes a variety of environments and who need to select and use a suitable method of personal fall protection
equipment, e.g. construction projects and offshore environments.
– During training delegates will be expected to carry out activities at height. This will provide an insight into the delegates’ ability to operate in such conditions.
This is only an indication of their capability, as it is not possible to recreate exact working environments.
– The actual height and exposure will be set out on the certification, but this is only to show what was included in the training. The height shown on the
certification is not intended to limit the height at which the delegate can operate.
– Further details of the training facilities, first aid provision, insurance, etc are available upon written request.
