DurationA ‘Basic Fall Arrest Operator’ is a person who has been trained in the identification and safe use of fall arrest equipment. Persons requiring this skills programme are typically required to climb structures and position themselves safely while performing work at height.
They do not partake in emergency operations and must therefore work under supervision of a person who is qualified/skilled to carry out rescue procedures from fall arrest systems.
Other criteria:
The Institute for Work at Height was initially formed as a trade organisation in January 2009 being a merger of the Specialised Access Engineering Manufacturers Association (SAEMA) and the Rope Access And Fall Arrest Association (RAFAA) desirous of creating safety awareness and in turn “professionalism in the overall Work At Height Industry”. Soon other sectors of the work at height industry joined, and the seven different chambers were created.
The members all agreed that their input in the development of the necessary skills was lacking and thus they decided to apply for the registration of a Professional Body. In November 2012, the Institute for Work at Height Professional Body received official recognition by the South African Qualification Authority (SAQA).
