(1056)
This module includes GWO Working at Heights Refresher and GWO Manual Handling Refresher. The participants must be physically and medically fit to participate in GWO Training. Maximum body weight is 128 kg. This is due to the capacity of our fall arrest systems, which is 140 kg. Note, that there can be other limits in the industry due to the fall arrest systems - usually 136 kg. Example: body weight: 128 kg + clothes and safety shoes: 5 kg + PPE equipment: 7 kg = 140 kg in total. If you do not meet this weight limit, you can not participate in the course due to safety. Be aware, that some OEMs/clients only accepts a maximum body weight at 121 kg. The duration is 1 day.
