Harness Training in Derby
Derby’s construction and maintenance sectors depend heavily on safe harness use to meet both safety legislation and site protocols. This training course is designed to equip you with the practical knowledge and skills needed to operate safely at height and meet legal expectations.
You’ll be shown how to correctly fit, inspect, and maintain a safety harness, identify suitable anchor points, and respond to on-site emergencies — all under the guidance of qualified instructors with industry experience.
Upon completion, you’ll earn a nationally recognised certificate that demonstrates your understanding of safe harness use and is accepted on sites across the UK.
