SA001A OVERHEAD SAFETY
FULL COURSE DETAILS
This accreditation has been developed to ensure that supervisors and planners who require an awareness of ladders and poles safety are accredited to Industry and National Occupational Standard (NOS). This accreditation is aimed at supervisors and planners working in a telecommunications environment. This accreditation does not cover roof top working.
The course covers 3 modules:
- Ladder safety
- Pole checking and climbing
- Joint user poles
Candidates will learn about the different types of ladders and poles, how to inspect them for safety, and the correct techniques for climbing and working on them. They will also learn about the hazards associated with working overhead, such as falls, electric shock, and live wires.
Prerequisites
This course requires individuals to complete a multiple-choice theory test as well as practical exercises using overhead pole climbing equipment, ladders and safety harness. There are no formal entry requirements and Locktel Academy will not restrict access on the grounds of prior academic attainment, age, employment, or any other grounds, thereby promoting equality. It is expected that learners will have a level of literacy adequate to cope with the theory assessment.
