Working at Height Training
Falls from height result in the largest number of workplace fatalities (HSE statistics). Our working at heights training course gives candidates an understanding of safe work from height. This can therefore significantly reduce the chances of fatal injury when implemented correctly.

Additionally, the Working at Heights Regulations 2005 state no person should be allowed to engage in a working at height activity unless competent to do so. Therefore, making it a necessity for staff to receive adequate training.
Who needs Working at Heights training?

The Working at Heights Regulations 2005 state,

“Every employer shall ensure that no person engages in any activity, including organisation, planning and supervision, in relation to work at height or work equipment for use in such work unless he is competent to do so or, if being trained, is being supervised by a competent person.”

Therefore, it is necessary for anyone involved in working at height activity to receive formal training.

This Working at Heights training course is for those working above or at ground level that are at risk of injury in the event of a fall. As a result, the course is ideal for those working on ladders, scaffolding or near to holes in the floor. This includes professions such as:

  • Tree surgeons
  • Electricians
  • Window cleaners
  • Construction workers
  • Gutter cleaners

This course serves as an excellent introduction, assumes no prior knowledge and is suitable for every employee, supervisor or team leader involved in work at height.
