WORK AT HEIGHT TRAINING

WORK AT HEIGHT TRAINING

According to Greek Legislation, work at height technicians must receive appropriate theoretical and practical training for the safe conduct of work at height, the use of personal fall protective equipment that they use and the rescue procedures that concern them. Greek Legislation also stipulates that the above trainings must be repeated at regular intervals.

Enaeritis, in compliance with the above legal requirements and following the international good practice, has designed and implemented a series of standardized training of work at height technicians. It also undertakes customized design and implementation of work at height training, according to the needs of our customers.

The trainings are carried out in our special facilities or in other suitable facilities that can be suggested by our clients, by experienced, certified, work at height trainers. They are organized according to the British standard BS8454 (Code of Practice for the training of safe work at height and rescue) and the Greek Legislation and of course include theoretical and practical training of safe work at height and rescue.

The trainees are provided with a technical training manual with all the information related to their training. Upon completion of the training, a certificate of competency is provided, lasting 3 years. At the same time, for the legal security of those involved, Enaeritis maintains a file with all the supporting documents of the training.

The training is subsidized by the LAEK program of OAED.

Caution! Unfortunately, in the Greek market many trainings for work at height do not meet the above legal requirements and expose technicians to risk. Please consult us before choosing a shorter training that does not include rescue or even a practical part!
