Course Overview

Regulators judge personal anchorage systems on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Where the occupational health and safety discipline depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. The professional literature on the occupational health and safety capability converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about personal anchorage systems under scrutiny. The difficulty is not agreeing that this strand of occupational health and safety matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Every module pairs a short input on the occupational health and safety discipline with structured practice on the participant's own material. It is designed for mixed groups, so that personal anchorage systems is examined from more than one functional angle. The programme converts this aspect of occupational health and safety from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The programme closes with an action plan for the practice within occupational health and safety that each participant writes for their own organisation.
