On December 6, a comprehensive training course on safe working practices at height and first aid skills was held for FSK technical supervision engineers at the "Smart Labor" training facility of the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPbGASU). The event combined theoretical lessons, practical training, and the testing of a methodology for assessing the competence of construction workers.
Working at height is one of the most dangerous types of construction work. During the training, company specialists thoroughly covered safety systems, the correct selection of personal protective equipment, and practiced rescue and evacuation techniques from aerial work platforms, towers, and metal structures.
A separate section of the program was devoted to first aid. Participants deepened their knowledge in this important area, which will be useful not only on construction sites but also in everyday life.
The training was conducted by:
"First Aid to Victims" – Alexander Dmitriev, Director of the Smart Trud Training Ground; "Working at Height" – Dmitry Klykov, Instructor in Safe Working Practices at Height.
In addition to mastering practical skills, the training included an important scientific component: testing a methodology for assessing the competence of construction workers when working at height. This methodology is being developed by Nadezhda Batova, a senior lecturer in the Department of Technosphere Safety, as part of her dissertation for a candidate of technical sciences degree.
The testing included three stages:
Entrance testing – assessment of the initial level of theoretical knowledge; final testing – verification of knowledge of occupational safety requirements after training; practical exam – confirmation of skills in performing practical tasks required for high-risk jobs.
The results of the practical examination will assess the professional suitability of specialists for working at height and the development of sustainable safety behavior patterns. The study data is still being processed, and the final scientific findings will be presented soon.
This event is a shining example of successful collaboration between a university and an industrial partner, where practical knowledge and applied skills are aimed at improving employee safety.
