The new name for...
Mines Rescue Service
In the case of low-risk, such as using ladders for short
duration periods, competence requirements may be no
more than making sure employees receive instruction
on how to use the equipment safely (e.g. how to tie a
ladder properly) and appropriate training. Training often
takes place on the job; it does not always take place in a
classroom.
When a more technical level of competence is required,
when working on towers, high platforms, roofs etc.
for example, with the use of working at height safety
equipment, such as fall arrest and fall restraint devices,
safety harnesses, work positioning lanyards, descenders
and rescue equipment, then a more advanced appropriate
level of training would be required.
