3 Cs copyThese courses support delegates in becoming competent to install or use equipment covered by the course. They all follow Higher Safety’s “3Cs” structure for comfirming fitness for purpose, Compliant Product, Competent Use, and Comprehensive Maintenance.  The course will include as much practical training as the time and facilities allow, along with the introduction to any rescue requirements relevant to the application. If time and facilities permit, practical rescue training can be included within the course.

Competence includes knowledge, and an understanding of the risks involved in the installation or use of the equipment. Competence also includes the ability to recognise limitations and to take appropriate action, and it is improved and developed with experience. These courses develop knowledge, and explain the risks, limitations, and the appropriate actions. Experience must also be gained for competence to be developed.
