Working at Height Training
This course is aimed at anyone who undertakes
work at height, or who employs people who
regularly work at height.
The term work at height applies to a wide range of
situations ranging from the obvious ones like
working on platforms, ladders, scaffolds or stages
to working alongside deep trenches. This is
because the crucial thing to understand about work
at height is that it’s not how far you climb, but how far you can fall.
‘Falls’ doesn’t just mean people falling from heights. If materials or
equipment fall, that will obviously present an equally dangerous hazard
to anyone below.
All working at height situations are covered by health and safety
legislation. Chief among these is the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
These regulations confer legal duties on employers and employees to
assess, control and minimise risks and hazards from work at height.
Important note: Please note that this is an awareness course only, if
your duties include working at height you will also need further practical
training, you can get in touch with us to arrange this.
