Working at heights comes with inherent risks, and ensuring the safety of every worker is crucial. At Lifting365, we understand the importance of comprehensive safety training, which is why we’re proud to offer our Safety Harness Awareness Course designed specifically for those in Ireland. This course equips you with essential knowledge and practical tips to maintain safety in high-risk environments.
Why Safety Harness Training is Essential
Falls from height are among the leading causes of workplace injuries and fatalities in Ireland. Even with advanced harness systems in place, proper usage and knowledge are vital to maximise their effectiveness. Our Safety Harness Awareness Course ensures that workers are not only equipped with high-quality safety gear but also understand how to use it correctly to minimise risk.
