Enrol in the combined SA001 Overhead Safety including SA051C Tetra training to learn about the hazards and risks associated with working on ladders, wooden poles and joint-user poles. Complete the training and gain a Smart Awards certificate, demonstrating your knowledge of safe working practices.
The SA001 Overhead Safety including SA051C Tetra Course is a 3-day combined Smart Awards training programme covering safe working practices for overhead telecommunications work. It brings together SA001 Overhead Safety and SA051C Tetra Leaning Ladder and Flat Roof Candidate Accreditation in one course.
The course covers the hazards and risks associated with working on ladders and wooden poles, including overhead safety, pole checking and joint user poles. It also covers the safe use of leaning ladders and working on flat roofs, helping learners understand the safety requirements involved in carrying out overhead telecommunications work.
💡Why Take the Combined Course?
The combined SA001 and SA051C Tetra course covers both overhead pole work and flat roof access in one training programme. This allows learners whose work involves both activities to complete the required training together rather than attending separate courses.
The combined SA001 Overhead Safety and SA051C Tetra Course is designed for workers who carry out overhead telecommunications work involving poles, ladders or flat roof access. It is suitable for both new and existing workers who need to develop safe working practices for these activities.
Suitable for:
The combined course covers the knowledge and practical skills required to work safely on ladders and wooden poles in a telecommunications environment. It focuses on identifying overhead hazards, carrying out safety checks and following the procedures required for safe working.
Key areas covered include:
The course has no formal entry requirements. It suits learners over the age of 16 who work in telecommunications, construction, or similar sectors involving overhead work.
Although no prior experience is necessary, learners must have the physical ability to work with ladders and basic skills to complete the theory assessments.
🦺Prepared for Training
Bringing the required PPE, including safety boots, a 4-point chin-strap helmet, hi-vis clothing, suitable gloves and eye protection, is mandatory. Without the correct PPE, delegates may be refused entry to the course.
The combined SA001 and SA051C course is delivered over 3 days through classroom-based training. It combines theory and practical training, covering the safety requirements and working practices involved in overhead telecommunications work.
The course is assessed through:
