Company-specific training

Company-specific training for your work tasks and risks

No two workplaces are the same. Work tasks, working environments, risks, equipment and safety requirements vary between different operations.

Hewall Safety therefore offers company-specific training in personal fall protection equipment, personal fall protection systems, rescue, and permanent and temporary anchorage devices.

Each training course is planned together with the customer based on the organisation’s work tasks, working environment, risks, equipment and competence needs. The training is adapted within the framework of applicable legislation and regulations, relevant standards, current manufacturers’ instructions and defined learning objectives.

The aim is to enable participants to apply the knowledge and skills gained during the training in their own workplace and to make safe decisions based on the actual conditions they face.

We start with your operations

Before the training, we review relevant aspects of your operations together with you, such as:

• current work tasks and work activities,
• working environments and workplaces,
• identified hazards and specific risk conditions,
• existing personal fall protection equipment and rescue equipment,
• permanent and temporary anchorage devices,
• the company’s work methods, instructions and procedures,
• the participants’ roles and existing competence,
• any customer or client requirements,
• applicable legislation, regulations, standards and manufacturers’ instructions,
• the need for rescue preparedness and practical training exercises.

Based on this, we develop a training programme with a clearly defined scope, learning objectives and practical elements.

Examples of training courses

• Planning, Work and Rescue – Mast Work
• Planning, Work and Rescue – Confined or Enclosed Spaces
• Planning, Work and Rescue – Rope Access
• Planning, Work and Rescue – Advanced Rescue from Height

Examples of learning objectives

Learning objectives are defined for each company-specific training course. Depending on the scope of the training, after successful completion participants may, for example, be able to:

• identify and apply relevant rules and requirements for the work concerned,
• describe the work task and identify hazards in their own working environment,
• assess risks and select appropriate control measures,
• determine when personal fall protection needs to be used,
• select a suitable personal fall protection system based on the risk assessment,
• select and use suitable and compatible components,
• understand the equipment’s function, intended use and limitations,
• carry out a pre-use check and determine when equipment must be withdrawn from use,
• use relevant permanent and temporary anchorage devices in accordance with their intended use and current instructions,
• plan the work so that fall risks are prevented or reduced,
• assess the need for rescue preparedness,
• carry out the rescue procedures included in the specific training course,
• determine when work must not start or must be stopped,
• reassess the work method and risk assessment when conditions change,
• apply the company’s relevant work methods, instructions and safety procedures.

Adapted – but not diluted

A company-specific training course means that the content, scenarios, equipment and practical exercises are adapted to the organisation’s operations.

It does not mean that safety requirements, mandatory course elements or assessment requirements are removed to make the training easier.

Where the training includes a pass/fail outcome, participants must meet the learning objectives and assessment criteria defined for that specific training course.
