Training

Performing work at height is only possible if the user of the fall protection equipment has the right knowledge and skills. SKALT believes in a combination of safe, comfortable fall protection equipment and practical, personal trainings. For this purpose, SKALT has developed a number of basic modules that cover most of the situations that can arise while performing work at height.

Adequate training is essential because the incorrect use of fall protection equipment can result in dangerous situations. The distance fallen may for instance be unnecessarily large if the anchorage point is not at the right height. Or, if the lifeline is attached to the wrong point on the harness, one’s body may experience excessive forces during a fall, causing severe internal injuries. In the event of a fall, the casualty may loose consciousness. If such a person remains suspended in his harness for a long time, the circulation may be impeded. In such cases, speed is of the essence, which means that a colleague must be able to undertake a rescue operation. These are all circumstances that must be trained for, before it is actually possible to perform work at height.
During the training, each participant is tested for both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Upon completion, and proven suitability, each participant receives a certificate.
