Training that goes beyond the tick-box
The cheapest control is always to avoid the work at height in the first place.

Where that is impossible, collective protection such as guardrails and platforms beats personal protection every time.

Refresher training matters for Safety Nets and Soft-Landing Systems use in Tuam precisely because confidence drifts away from the rules over time, and a quick refresher resets it.
