TRAINING IN THE USE OF 3RD-CATEGORY PPE, PREVENTION OF THE RISK OF FALL DURING TEMPORARY WORK AT HEIGHT, SAFETY AND EMERGENCY IN CONFINED SPACES – REFRESHER

The course aims at updating knowledge about the use of 3rd-category PPE and includes the procedures for temporary work at height, entry and emergency in confined spaces or environments suspected of being polluted.

The program includes a test before starting the refresher course. The test is made up of 20 questions with multiple choice to verify the knowledge on 3^RD category PPE use, the prevention of risk of fall during temporary activities at height and in confined spaces

Practical session

• PPE use
• Helmet with chinstraps
• harness
• connectors
• retractable fall arrester
• positioning lanyard
• double hooks with integrated absorber
• portable ladder with integrated lifeline
• fixed ladder with fall arrest undercarriage

Practical session

• Harness use
• Use of airway protective devices(demonstration)
• Use of self-contained breathing apparatus (smoke room)
• Use of tripod and fall protection devices (self-rescue)
• (Emergency Escape Breathing Apparatus EEBA)
• Multi-gas detection system
• Installation: tripod and connected equipment (retractable fall arrester turning into a recuperator, winch, watchman retractable fall arrester…)
• Cascade Airline Breathing Apparatus CABA
• Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus SCBA
• CABA emergency system
• Emergency rescue simulation (extrication) through lifting devices and procedures

After the theoretical and practical session, the initial test will be repeated in order to check knowledge and skills acquired during the course
