What the course covers

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 and what counts as working at height
The hierarchy of control: avoid, prevent, then minimise the consequences of a fall
Planning work at height and deciding who is competent
Selecting the right access equipment for the job
Employer and employee duties
Ladders and stepladders: types, load classes, pre-use inspection and safe use
Preventing falling objects and keeping tools and the work area safe
When specialist training is needed – scaffolding, mobile towers and elevating platforms
Lessons from a real prosecution case

Why it matters

Falls from height are one of the biggest causes of workplace deaths and major injuries, often from ladders or through fragile roofs. Ladders aren’t banned – they can be the right choice for low-risk, short-duration tasks – but they must be the right type, inspected and used correctly.

Our awareness training gives your team the knowledge to recognise working at height risks and work safely, and helps you show that work at height is properly planned, supervised and carried out by competent people.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wasn’t sure how I would feel entering a training course for managing health and safety as it’s not an area I get enjoyment in. However, Brian made the course really enjoyable so props to him. Thankyou.
