US 229994: Assess a worksite for work at height and prepare a fall protection plan
For people responsible for the safety and protection of people working at height where there is a risk of injury from a fall. The learner will be responsible for the safety of others performing tasks at height. Qualifying learners are able to develop fall protection plans for people working at height, required by the Occupational Health and safety act (Act 85 of 1993). The scope of this unit standard is for any person who needs to draw up fall protection plans for persons performing work at height.

Training includes:
Performing a risk assessment of the worksite where work is to be done at height.
Demonstrating knowledge of fall arrest rescue equipment and advanced fall arrest rescue.
Developing a fall protection plan and fall arrest plan.
Managing safety of personnel working at heights.
