Strengthening Safety & Skills in Telecom: Training for Pole and Underground Work

Accreditation is key for engineers and contractors who work on Openreach networks. There are 2 courses in particular that stand out, Openreach tetra climbing course and Openreach PIA s6 underground surveying course.

These programs provide essential experience, enabling workers to do highly risk-laden work with the assurance of their abilities. Why These Courses Matter Openreach training tetra climbing course Training on the openreach tetra climbing course gives delegates the ability to climb safely using the Tetra system (a harness and ladder combination made specifically to reduce dangers when working at height, e.g., on flat roofs or up telegraph poles).

The mechanism was put in place by Openreach to avoid its workers coming into contact with mains electricity. (openreach. com) Do the climbing course Existence of mind: when trained in ascent and descent by our operatives, this practical training ensures that they know how to utilise ladder stand off bars, how to fix themselves with the Tetra harness and also ascend or descend safely working-at-height regulations permit. The training, explains Fibre Optics Training, incorporates a theoretical and practical assessment to ensure students are highly skilled.

Meanwhile, the Openreach PIA s6 underground surveying course is aimed at those who operate in the below-ground network. Officially known as the Openreach PIA S006 Underground Survey Accreditation at some training providers, this accreditation covers knowledge about Openreach’s underground ducts, chambers and joint boxes.

Course attendees are introduced to a range of chambers (e.g. JUF, JMF, JRC, CW), how to calculate potential bore space and produce an accurate survey report including forms such as the A1024. This knowledge is not only technical, but crucial for safety - if you identify the right Openreach asset first time round, you lower the chances of causing damage in the network or creating unsafe work.

Who Should Take These Courses The tetra climbing course is perfect for engineers requiring to work at height, in particular poles or buildings. It assumes minimal ladder safety, but then jumps off from there and provides a full acronym of advanced skills for secure, tethered climbing. If you’re working with Tetra equipment then, this training is almost essential.

The Openreach PIA s6 underground surveying course is designed for surveyors, engineers and others who specify or check routes the underground telecoms infrastructure. Whether you are responsible for entering ducts, locating in-duct assets of reporting on existing capacity available for future cabling works, this course provides the accredited skills to work in this high demand growing market. Benefits of Certification Health & Safety First: The safety of the operative and bystander are a priority on all our training courses. Regulatory requirement: By achieving these accreditations, engineers are working to Openreach approved guidelines and can work legally & safely on the Openreach network. Professional Assurance: Training with a trusted training company such as Fibre Optics Training certainly does put you ahead of other in the highly competitive telecom job market.

Long-term Credibility: These accreditations aren’t a flash in the pan. For instance, the underground survey certificate is generally only valid for a certain number of years and needs to be renewed, which ensures staff stay current.
