1B Static Boom

How is someone deemed competent? – training, knowledge and experience.

Our static boom course will correctly train and test you or your staff in the safe use, selection, pre use check, storage, disposal procedures and correct wearing on the harness, pre use check of the equipment and safe operation.  Without successfully completing adequate training you risk being non compliant with the Work at Height Regulations 2005.

RIDDOR statistics released before the Work at Height Regulations 2005 showed that 60% of falls recorded were “low falls” from below head height.

HSE statistics show that fatal injuries in the workplace have remained level in recent years and falls from height is still one of the biggest causes.
