Humbersideside Event 23^rd October 2013

Safety & Access recently held the above event in partnership with the fall protection and rescue experts from Honeywell Safety Products to present a day focused on rescue planning and compliance to SG4:10 and the

Work at Height Regulations 2005.

The event was very well attended with representatives present from HSE, Major Construction, Oil and Gas and Scaffolding Contractors.

Many companies believe that their generic rescue plan is sufficient without understanding the consequences of poor planning.  The event focused on the effectiveness of correct planning for emergencies at height, the reality of it going wrong, and how to prevent mistakes being made! The session included a theoretical overview of the requirements and a practical demonstration of a rescue process.

Excellent Feedback

We are delighted to say that feedback on the day and subsequently received has been excellent and the event was a real success. The session will be invaluable for those people responsible for: Writing rescue plans; or Approving rescue plans as part of a method statement. Rescue planning for Scaffolding Operations & SG4:10Suspension Trauma update Assessing effectiveness of the plan Practical Demonstration.
