Rooftop Mansafe Systems Training

Davis Access delivers professional Rooftop Mansafe Systems training courses from our Bristol training centre and onsite across the UK. This specialist working at height safety course is designed for operatives, supervisors and contractors who work on rooftops using mansafe systems, helping improve awareness of fall protection equipment, rooftop access procedures, harness safety and compliance with current working at height regulations across construction, maintenance and industrial environments.

Anybody working at height must comply with the Working at Height Regulations 2005. The Working at Height Regulations stipulate that we must avoid working at height where possible. Employers must do all that is reasonably practicable to prevent anyone from falling.

Get trained

Falls from height are the leading cause of workplace deaths and one of the top sources of non-fatal injuries. Because of this, it’s a legal duty to risk assess all work at height and establish control measures that minimise the risk to a reasonably practicable level. Adequate training must also be provided for workers.

Our Rooftop Mansafe Systems training course focuses on the safe use, installation, and maintenance of fall protection systems specifically designed for working at heights. These systems, often referred to as “mansafe systems” or “work restraint systems,” include lifelines, anchor points, and other personal fall protection equipment. The course aims to provide participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively use these systems to prevent falls and enhance safety in environments where there is a risk of falling..
