Inspecting a Fall-Arrest Harness Before Every Use
A full-body harness only protects the person wearing it if it is fit for use. Here is the pre-use inspection routine we teach on every working-at-height programme.

Work at Height & Fall Protection | Training Programme
Safe systems for work above ground level.
A general work at height programme covering the safe system of work itself — access, edge protection, equipment and behaviour — rather than one specific piece of equipment.
Overview
Work at height is safest when the system of work is right before any single piece of equipment is considered. This general programme looks at the job as a whole: how people get up, what stops them falling, and what changes when the weather, light or site conditions do.
It follows the principle of fall prevention before fall arrest. Collective measures such as edge protection and guardrails come first, personal fall protection is used where they are not possible, and the work is coordinated with anyone working below.
What the programme covers
- What counts as work at height and where the risk actually sits
- Access methods and choosing between them
- Edge protection, guardrails and collective measures
- Personal fall protection where collective measures are not possible
- Weather, lighting and site conditions that change the plan
- Coordination with other trades working below
