Safety Net Rigger Training
Safety netting is a life-critical industry and as such, demonstrating competence is a thorough process. This is why FASET have designed specialist safety net training courses.
The process is simple:
- Complete the one day FASET Safety Net Rigger Course.
- Register on the Safety Net Rigger NVQ with your training provider.
- Complete the approved work at height test or equivalent.
- Apply to FASET for your Red Trainee Safety Net Rigger card. This card allows you to work under the supervision of a Blue Carded Safety Net Rigger. You are not deemed to be competent to install safety nets at this point.
- Gain experience in safety net rigging and working with your training provider, complete your NVQ portfolio and assessments.
- Once you have completed your NVQ, apply to FASET for your Blue Skilled Worker Safety Net Rigger Card. This card deems you to be competent to rig safety nets and has a 5 year validity period. When your card is due for renewal, complete your General Site Assessment (GSA-1) which will allow you to renew your card.
All FASET Training is delivered by our Training Centres.
