Key Learning Pillars

• Hazard Identification: Recognizing risks like fragile roofs, unprotected edges, and adverse weather conditions (high winds/heat).

• Fall Prevention vs. Fall Arrest:

  • Prevention: Using guardrails, scaffolding, and MEWPs (Mobile Elevated Work Platforms) to stop a fall from happening.

  • Arrest: Using safety harnesses and lifelines to safely catch a person if they do fall.

• Equipment Mastery: Proper donning, fit-testing, and inspection of Full-Body Harnesses, lanyards, and anchor points.

• Ladders & Scaffolding: Safe setup, the "3-point contact" rule, and identifying "Red Tag" (unsafe) vs. "Green Tag" (safe) scaffolds.

• Emergency Rescue Planning: Understanding Suspension Trauma and the protocols for rescuing a suspended worker within the "Golden Hour."

Why It’s Required

In the UAE, this training is a legal mandate for construction and maintenance sectors. It ensures compliance with Dubai Municipality Technical Guidelines and helps organizations reduce insurance costs, avoid legal penalties, and—most importantly—eliminate workplace fatalities.
