Our approach
+IMPAC's Employ Height Safety Equipment in the Workplace training approach
This course combines clear trainer-led explanation with practical application, so learners can understand not just what the equipment is, but how to use it properly in day-to-day work. Participants work through the decisions that matter on site, including how to identify suitable equipment for the task, how to recognise appropriate anchor points, and when fall restraint or fall arrest is the right control.
Training is grounded in the kinds of situations where people can get caught out through familiarity, rushed setup, or poor equipment checks. Learners discuss common height work situations, practise safe equipment use, and work through the steps needed to support rescue planning and emergency response on site.
