Height Safety Training for Police


Confidence When It Counts – Work at Height Training for Police

Working at height in police operations—whether in search, surveillance, or emergency response—demands more than equipment. It takes real-world knowledge and hands-on experience to act confidently under pressure.

At SpanSet, we deliver dedicated height safety training tailored to the operational needs of police officers and specialist teams. Delivered at our own training centre, officers gain classroom instruction backed up by practical exercises on how to use harnesses, lanyards, and fall arrest systems safely and effectively.

Load Security Awareness for Traffic Officers


Helping Police Identify Dangerous Loads on the Road


Unsecured cargo can be deadly, yet many Traffic Officers receive no formal training in how to spot unsafe loads. (In fact, many drivers have not received formal load restraint training themselves.  SpanSet bridges this gap with Load Security Awareness Training, helping officers learn how to visually assess and respond to load safety risks.

We've worked alongside police teams at live roadside inspections, offering technical insight into load restraint methods and common mistakes in transportation. Our training helps officers confidently recognise hazards and take appropriate action.
