About The Course

Under Australian Standard AS/NZS 1891.4:2009, all height safety equipment including harnesses, lanyards, fall arrest devices and associated hardware, must be inspected at least every six months by a competent person.

A competent heights safety equipment inspector is defined as someone who has, through a combination of training, experience and formal assessment, demonstrated the ability to detect faults and determine the appropriate remedial action.

This hands-on course in Perth, WA, prepares you to meet these requirements. You'll learn how to inspect, tag, maintain and retire height safety equipment in line with WA workplace health and safety legislation.

Training is delivered by Haz-Ed's experienced instructors, and you'll practise using a wide range of equipment. By the end of the course, you'll be ready to apply your skills immediately and support your organisation's heights safety program.

Failure to properly inspect height safety equipment can result in:

  • Serious injury or fatality
  • Non-compliance with Australian Standards
  • Fines, liability, and site shutdowns
  • Increased reliance on external inspectors

This course helps you avoid these issues and allows you to handle inspections in-house.

This course is designed for anyone who has been assigned, or who seeks to take on, the role of height safety equipment inspector within their organisation. It is especially relevant for:

  • WHS officers, safety managers and HSRs
  • Site supervisors and leading hands responsible for equipment management
  • Maintenance and facilities management staff
  • Equipment store managers and storekeepers handling height safety gear
  • Anyone who regularly uses height safety equipment and wants a deeper understanding of its condition and serviceability
  • Organisations seeking to build internal inspection capability and reduce reliance on external inspection services

Prerequisites

There are no mandatory prerequisites for this course.

However, Haz-Ed strongly recommends participants hold a current RIIWHS204E Work Safely at Heights certificate prior to attending, consistent with the recommendation of the Working at Heights Association of Australia (WAHA).

What to Wear

Enclosed footwear and appropriate workwear

What to Bring

  • Valid photo ID
  • USI number

Take control of your inspection process and ensure your equipment is checked properly before use.

This course delivers training to the nationally recognised unit PUAEQU001 and covers how to inspect height safety equipment to the level defined by AS/NZS 1891.4.

Note that this course doesn’t replace manufacturer-specific training. If you need to service, repair or certify specific proprietary products (e.g. IKAR, MSA/Latchways, Harken Industrial), you’ll also need to complete the relevant manufacturer-approved training.
