WORKING AT HEIGHT TEST
Firefighters are expected to be able to work confidently at height , often involving the use of ladders in order to either operate firefighting equipment or affect rescue .
Although this is a test of your confidence at height , you will benefit from developing your core strength which will assist with balance – information on core strength can be found in the Fit for Action booklet .
You will be required to ascend a 10.5 metre ladder , execute a leg lock and then descend .
As a guide , this test should be carried out in under 180 seconds .
