GWO Working at Height
(1041)
This module includes GWO Working at Height. The participant must be physically and medically fit to participate in GWO Training. For participants, the maximum body weight is 128 kg. This is due to the capacity of the fall arrest systems, which is 140 kg at GWA. E.g.: 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 in the industry there can be other maximum limits - usually the maximum weight is 136 kg in total.) The duration is 2 days.
