North East Access Training

Working at a height demands multiple different skills from the operative, but from an employer’s point of view, nothing matters more than the safety of your staff as they work. This is why IPAF safety harness training is absolutely essential for those who work at height.

Here at North East Access Training, we have been registered training suppliers for over 45 years, boasting highly experienced instructors with decades of experience between them. It’s our goal to offer focused and informative harness awareness training courses that accurately inform your staff of everything related to harnesses, from inspection to selection.

To achieve this quality training, we make sure that our premises in Birtley, County Durham, are not just easily accessible but exceptionally well equipped, too. Reachable from all major cities and road networks in the area, our 21,000sq ft space can easily cater to a focused group and allow attendees to engage in our PPE-compliant IPAF harness training programme.

Along with our great facilities and experienced staff, over the years we have learnt that training courses should adapt to the trainees, not the trainer. That’s why we instruct each and every one of our harness training courses when you want – not when we want. There is no minimum number of participants either, so regardless of how many staff you need to get trained and work safely, we can help.

Successful attendees are given a certificate to validate their training – simply get in touch if you have any further questions or would like to book on to a course.

Harness Training Course Content

The course itself is a minimum of half a day, depending on a variety of factors, so let us know your requirements if you would like an exact time estimate.

Within the course itself, the attendees will learn all relevant health and safety regulations, guidelines and standards, as well as how to identify the correct type of harness for working on an MEWP.

Beyond this, we will also cover how to check, maintain, use and store a harness before moving on to the practical content of fitting and adjusting the harness. Afterwards, we will cover when and how to inspect a harness before finishing on how to keep all relevant inspection records.

The IPAF harness training course concludes with a written test and practical inspection assessment before the awarding of a harness training certificate, as well as a short overview.

Harness Training Cost

As with all courses, our harness training courses vary in price depending on the number of attendees.
