IMPACT43 is in the gutter!
Leading window cleaning training company, IMPACT43, has designed a brand new Gutter Cleaning Training Course. Starting in April 2012, the course will cover the legal operational needs when using innovative telescopic gutter maintenance vacuum systems. These are state-of-the-art, portable systems that include remote CCTV inspection capabilities.
This course is vital for anyone using either water-fed pole or gutter vacuum cleaning. Since 1974 it has been a legal requirement for employers to train employees, and since 1998 it has been a legal
statutory requirement for employers (and the self-employed) to be trained when using any type of equipment: see the Provision and Use Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER 98).
This means that companies and individuals using this kind of equipment without training are actually trading illegally, and if things go wrong the consequences may be severe.
ideally placed for transport links from around the country.
Scot Young Research’s training centre has welcomed hundreds of people through its doors over the years, and in February hosted the southern branch of the Association of Health Care Professionals for a major environmental awareness training day.

In 2005/06 falls from height accounted for 46 fatal accidents at work and around 3,350 major injuries. Such falls remain the single biggest cause of workplace deaths, and they are also one of the principal causes of major injury.
The new IMPACT course covers: the legal duties of companies and cleaners, possible consequences for property owners/the self-employed/employees if they employ a contractor to clean gutters and he or she falls from a ladder, reasons to ICC (Inspect, Clear and Clean), manual handling issues, maintenance of the systems and how to avoid repetitive strain injuries.
