Comments
This course is specifically for people responsible for site harnesses, the users, and the maintenance and test certification following an inspection by a certified Certifier. Certification of harnesses is a legal requirement and if clients have their own qualified onsite test certifiers, a saving can be made.
TOSHA can also provide ID Cards identifying authorised Test Certifiers, and these cards also, authorise approved access to TOSHA's Training Record on our Website and on site.
