Safety Harness & Lanyard Training

All safety harness courses are operated and run by The Training Societi in partnership with SafetyLiftinGear

This practical harness and lanyard training course is not only essential for users of fall arrest equipment - it is also aimed at their supervisors and managers, business owners and buyers of PPE equipment.

We have found that 80% of our delegates have been issued the wrong type of safety harness and/or lanyard while working at height, which would result in them having little or no protection against injury or worse.
