Basic Safety Refresher Training / V12 2023-05-02
To ensure that for all fall protection equipment that may be used that there will be enough clearance below the anchor point, and to ensure that the participants can experience a descent of sufficient duration for meaningful learning transfer, the GWO recommends that the anchor point is a minimum of 6.75m above the ground or structure directly below the anchor point. The recommended 6.75m clearance under the anchor point is explained in detail in annex 1. If a training provider deviates from the recommended anchor point height of 6.75m to a lower height, then the following additional control measures must be in place, a. The training provider shall document a risk assessment for the lower height, this shall include calculations based on the harness and fall arrest lanyards which will be used during the evacuation exercises the calculation shall: a.i use the value for maximum shock absorber elongation supplied by the equipment manufacturer, and, a.ii demonstrate that the equipment to be used will prevent the participants and instructors from coming into contact with the ground in the event of a fall, and, a.iii use formulas stated in national legislation or the equipment manufacturer guidelines or where no formula exists use the formula in Annex 1. The potential fall factor shall not exceed 0.5 and participants must experience a descent from a platform that is a minimum of 4.5m above the ground. 11.5 BSTR Working at Heights with Manual Handling Module timetable The order in which elements of this BSTR Module training are delivered may vary according to the didactical choices of the delivering training provider.
