WORK AT HEIGHT MORE SAFELY WITH NEW JSP


COMPANY Many professions and work environments involve activity above or even below ground level, exposing workers to the risk of falling a distance liable to cause injury – or even death.


As well as a moral obligation to ensure these workers’ safety, employers must comply with legal requirements with regard to working at height.


Training is a crucial part of compliance, as employers must understand how to plan and manage work at height safely so that workers


can carry it out without causing harm to themselves or others.


Altitude™ Height Safety – a new company in the JSP Group – is dedicated to providing quality height safety and rescue training for all industry sectors. The company recently launched an initial programme of five courses covering the main elements of working at height for employers and their workers (see right).


All courses can be held on the client’s site, so there are no travel and accommodation costs for delegates, and time off work is kept to a minimum. Delegates are trained by experienced JSP tutors in the environment in which they work in small groups of six or 12.

COURSES AT A GLANCE


Introduction to working at height — a half day, classroom-based session that provides a comprehensive overview for those new to working at height. The course helps delegates identify the safest and most suitable work methods and equipment via risk assessment and the hierarchy of controls.


Personal fall protection equipment: selection, use and maintenance — this half day, classroom-based course covers selection, safe use and appropriate inspection and maintenance regimes for a range of fall protection equipment.


Inspection of personal fall protection equipment — a full day course comprising theory and practice, this is aimed at those responsible for conducting three or six-monthly recorded inspections of harness, lanyards and fall arresters.


Planning and managing work at height — this full day course is suitable for those who plan, manage or supervise work at height activity and covers hazard identification, risk assessment, accident reporting, inspection and maintenance regimes and planning for rescue.


Rescue from height — this full day, practical course gives delegates the knowledge and skills to rescue someone who, in the event of a fall, is incapacitated, suspended, or in a position requiring emergency self-evacuation.


EMPLOYEES TO BENEFIT FROM EYECARE


TECHNOLOGY Employees who redeem eyecare eVouchers from Specsavers Corporate Eyecare will now be introduced to a new way of having their glasses selected and fitted.


Specsavers has introduced Digital Precision Eyecare – intelligent


44


software that calculates the important measurements needed to fit glasses and lenses. It also helps with choosing lens options, by showing what different lenses do, in real time.


The advantage for the employer is that they know all their employees are receiving exceptional professional care and advice in frame selection and dispensing for their prescription, vision and lifestyle needs.


Following an eye examination, the optical team assists customers in selecting their preferred glasses. Imaging software on a tablet is


then used to take an image of them wearing the glasses, which in turn captures a range of essential dispensing measurements. These are unique to the customer and their chosen glasses.


Corporate Eyecare from Specsavers is available from just £17 for DSE eyecare and glasses, if required for screen use. eVouchers can be bought and distributed by the employer to cover specific at-work needs, like DSE, driver or safety eyecare, or as a cost- effective employee benefit.
