Following the success of No Falls Week, SAEMA (Suspended Access Engineering Maintenance Association) has proudly announced that over 2,000 operatives have been upskilled through approved training, demonstrating the industry’s commitment to safety, competence, and compliance.
Company Secretary Tony Seddon commented, “From end users to principal contractors, knowing those you employ have the competency to operate safely when using any suspended access equipment promotes safety standards and provides peace of mind.”
SAEMA’s training programme is designed for anyone working in or interested in the permanent and temporary access industry. Crucial aspects like terminology, legislation, standards, and procedures are covered, providing a robust foundation for operatives and preparing them for practical training in the field.
Tony continued, “This news comes directly following No Falls Week, a campaign supported by SAEMA that saw over 1,900 companies commit to enhancing safety at height within their operations. We’re delighted to announce this milestone so soon after the initiative, further showing our industry’s commitment to making sure every person who goes up, comes back down safely.”
