Max, a dedicated worker from Waltham Forest, has been employed at DS Lifts for two years. His company recently secured a new contract that required employees to hold proper safety qualifications for working at height. DS Lifts enrolled Max in a Harness Safety Course delivered by SpanSet at SIMIAN LASC to ensure compliance and enhance workplace safety.

Max attended the harness safety course with the aim of gaining the essential skills and knowledge required to work safely at height. The course covered crucial aspects such as harness selection, correct fitting, fall protection systems, and emergency procedures. Through a combination of theoretical learning and practical exercises, Max gained firsthand experience in using a harness effectively and understanding the risks associated with working at height.

The training proved to be an eye-opening experience for Max. His biggest takeaway was the importance of personal safety at height. Before the course, he understood the basics of wearing a harness. Still, he now feels significantly more confident in assessing equipment, identifying potential hazards, and ensuring his own safety as well as that of his colleagues.

Thanks to the training, Max now approaches his work with greater confidence and awareness. He appreciates the hands-on approach used during the course and believes that the practical elements were invaluable in reinforcing the theoretical knowledge. With his new qualification, Max is fully prepared to contribute to DS Lifts’ upcoming contract, ensuring all tasks are carried out safely and in compliance with industry standards.

Max’s experience with SIMIAN and SpanSet highlights the importance of continuous training in safety-critical industries. By investing in professional development, DS Lifts has not only enhanced Max’s skill set but also reinforced a culture of safety within their workforce.
