11.4 Equipment for BSTR Working at Heights with Manual Handling Module
The equipment required for training as listed in Annex 1 must be available and must fulfil national legal requirements as listed in table Annex 1-4 where applicable.
The generic approach is achieved by teaching a variety of safety equipment products within each safety equipment category (e.g., guided type fall arresters). This enables the participants to conduct pre-use inspection and to use other safety equipment products compared to those taught during this module (based on the manufacturer’s user manual).
Additional fall protection must always be used during training activities at height.
The training provider shall introduce control measures that lower the risks and hazards associated with a fall from height to an acceptable level, following the Hierarchy of Controls in their risk assessment.
GWO recommends a maximum fall factor of 0.5. To calculate this the following formula has been used, based on a maximum allowed lanyard length of 2.00m and a fall of 1.00m 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 ( 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 )= 𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿ℎ 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 ( 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 )= 1.00 𝑚𝑚 2.00 𝑚𝑚 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 ( 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 )=0.5 During the evacuation exercises in this module the anchor points used for the attachment of fall arrest lanyards with energy absorbers must be high enough above the ground, or structure below them, that in the
