Height Equipment Inspection Seminar

This seminar is suited to people who inspect, maintain, oversee, or keep records for height safety equipment. That includes height safety inspectors, rope access technicians, health and safety representatives, supervisors, equipment managers, and maintenance personnel. It is especially relevant where organisations need documented inspection systems and clear maintenance records.

People responsible for inspecting and managing height safety equipment need to be competent and follow manufacturer instructions and workplace procedures. While there is no single legal requirement to complete a specific harness inspection course, formal training is commonly used to help ensure inspections are carried out consistently and safely.

No, this seminar does not award NZQA unit standards. However, the course content covers concepts aligned with NZQA Unit Standard 19359 relating to height safety equipment inspection.

The seminar runs for half a day and is delivered in-house. That time is used to cover inspection requirements, equipment checks, and practical equipment management considerations.

This course covers more than harnesses alone. Content includes harnesses, lanyards, karabiners, slings, ascenders, descenders, ropes, pulleys, helmets, and related height safety equipment. It is particularly useful for organisations managing a broader height safety or industrial rope access equipment register.

Yes, inspection records and logbooks are covered as part of the training. Learners work through what documentation should include, why equipment history matters, and how accurate records support safer decisions around ongoing use, maintenance, and equipment retirement.

No, training does not replace manufacturer instructions or a documented workplace inspection system. It helps people understand how to apply those requirements properly, identify defects, and maintain accurate inspection records. You still need equipment-specific guidance, clear internal processes, and decisions that match the gear you use and the risks in your workplace.

IMPAC recommends refresher training at least every two years to help workers maintain confidence inspecting height safety equipment and identifying wear, damage, or compliance concerns before equipment is used. Refresher training may also be needed where equipment types, procedures, or workplace risks change.

Yes, this seminar is available for in-house delivery nationwide. In-house delivery can help organisations train workers using the same inspection processes, equipment types, and workplace procedures.

In-house: $1700 + GST for up to 12 persons, with additional persons charged at $140 + GST each (maximum of 14).
