DWR Distribution takes pleasure in hosting its first Fall Arrest and Basic Training, presented by Jacobus Myburgh from Gravity Training. The three day training kicks off today and ends on 20th February.

With a background in the hospitality industry, having managed hotels and venues both locally and internationally, Myburgh can relate to the events and entertainment market. When a new door opened for him to join Gravity Training, he received extensive training on rope access, rigging, climbing with a harness and safety.

The aim is to train technicians, riggers and all those who work on elevated platforms with the tools required to conduct a possible rescue. Subjects covered include falls and fall factors, shock absorbing lanyards, connectors, helmets, anchors, slings and wire strops, work positioning lanyards, rescue and practical training.

The three day course, approved by SETA, SAQA, DOL, Vodacom, Cell C, MTN and various others, includes certification which is valid for three years to all delegates who pass.
