Work at height safety specialist Simian Risk is hosting two free Scaffolding Safety seminars at its Warrington headquarters.

The morning and afternoon courses on Friday, October 26, will focus on a variety of topics, including Management of Temporary Works and Scaffolding Rescue, with practical demonstrations in the firm’s 15,000sq ft training centre.

There will also be an NASC update, including advice on the forthcoming TG20:13 Scaffolding Guidance.

Simian Risk director Simon Hughes – widely recognised as one of the UK’s leading industry experts – said: “This is an excellent opportunity for people in the industry to get a free update on NASC Guidance, as well as advice and support on a range of issues.

 “The seminars are particularly targeted at scaffolding company owners, senior and middle managers at scaffolding contractors, HSE inspectors and any Health and Safety professionals working on construction and industry sites.

“As well as presentations there will also be practical demonstrations which will give delegates a real-time perspective of how to deal with rescue situations. The TG20 Scaffolding Guidance manual is also undergoing a major rewrite in time for 2013, so we will be addressing some key issues which could be presented in the document.”

The seminars run from 9.30am to 12pm and 12.30pm to 3pm. Tea and coffee will be served on arrival, with a free Hog Roast lunch.

Simian Risk is one of the UK’s leading work at height safety and training specialists, working across the UK, Middle East and Far East with a range of blue chip access, construction, oil and gas and petrochemical companies.

The seminars will be held at Simian Risk’s HQ at Wallis House, Birchwood Park, Warrington. For more information or to reserve a place call 0845 602 2418 or email [email protected]
