As the personal fall protection training course and assessment are conducted on-site, we expect the client to provide the necessary equipment at all times.
In this context, it is naturally preferable that at least one example of each type of fall protection device that the employee uses, or may potentially use, is available on-site.
This means that no equipment needs to be transported to the training location, which eliminates any rental or insurance costs. In addition, it is highly beneficial for participants to practise using exactly the same equipment that is used within their organisation on a daily basis.
The location for this personal fall protection training course must always be provided by the client.
This offers several advantages, most notably the fact that participants can learn in a familiar environment.
This not only means fewer nerves thanks to familiar surroundings, but also improved practical insight!

If you do not participate in the examination or training, you will not be eligible to receive a certificate/attestation. To obtain a certificate/attestation, you must of course pass the examination/internal test.
We make every effort to ensure that no examination or training session is ever cancelled by Prevom. However, if cancellation becomes necessary due to exceptional reasons or extreme circumstances, you will be notified by phone or email.
In the event of cancellation, Prevom will refund the registration fee in full, without any additional compensation beyond the original amount paid at the time of booking. If, on the day of the training, it is determined that the practical exercises cannot be carried out safely, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the training without reimbursement of the amount due.
