Window Cleaner Fall Protection & Rescue from Suspended Scaffold

COURSE DESCRIPTION

A (2) day Window Cleaner Fall Protection & Rescue course that includes common fall protection and rescue methods used on suspended scaffolding. After a review of the basics of Fall Protection and PPE, the students will move on to more detailed lessons and hands-on training to expand their knowledge of the equipment, terminology and planning required for the use of, and rescue from, Suspended Scaffolds. The course will discuss common fall protection systems and provide the opportunity for students to use fall protection systems on a suspended scaffold. Discussions and exercises will be conducted to learn how to evacuate from a scaffold and lower an incapacitated worker from a scaffold. All classroom and practical hands-on exercises are designed to teach, practice, and demonstrate the students’ proficiency in the subject and skill. A written and practical test is administered to ensure that students understand the principles and skills presented. Documentation is available to satisfy your company’s due diligence and regulatory requirements.
