OBJECTIVES
To assess the delegate’s ability to ensure their own protection by carrying out the duties of an Individual Working Alone as set out in Modules T2, T6, T7 & T12 of the Rule Book and competence requirements of GO/RT 3358 Appendix C.

LEARNING APPROACH

FEATURES

To maintain IWA competence each delegate must undertake 2 assessments within each 2 year ‘cycle’.  Sentinel Guidance documents recommend that the first assessment in each ‘cycle’ is part of a refresher event (See IWA Re-certification information sheet).
