The additional fall protection system should be chosen in such a way that it will not hinder the exercise. Preferably this additional fall protection is not even noticeable by the participant. A safety practice where two colleagues pair up to inspect each other’s equipment, tools, or work setup. The purpose of a buddy check is to catch any errors, oversights, or loose connections that a person might miss when inspecting their own setup. This extra layer of accountability helps prevent accidents, improves situational awareness, and reinforces a culture of safety on the worksite Components such as carabiners, snap hooks, or quick links used to connect parts of a personal fall protection system, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and relevant standards

In contrast to product-specific training, a generic approach to teaching safety equipment focuses on the similarities and differences in design, function, and operation between various equipment products This is achieved by teaching a variety of rescue equipment products within each category (e.g. rescue stretchers). As a result, participants are able to inspect and use other comparable equipment, beyond what was used in the training, without requiring additional formal training, provided they follow the manufacturer’s manual After course completion, participants are expected to familiarise themselves with the specific rescue equipment used in their own organisation (e.g. before starting work on site), using the manufacturer’s instructions from the user manual
