Working at height remains one of the biggest causes of fatalities and major injuries in the UK. Common incidents include falls from ladders and through fragile surfaces.
‘Working at height’ is defined as work in any place where, if there were no precautions in place, a person could fall a distance that could cause personal injury. Our training gives trainees the skills to take precautions to prevent falls, and to avoid additional risk.
The working at height regulations place the duty of preventing personal injury with the employer or those who control any work at height activity (such as facilities managers or building owners who contract others to work at height). As part of the regulations, you must ensure:
- All work at height is properly planned and organised
- Those involved in work at height are competent
We design courses to match your specific requirements to make sure training meets your exact needs. Our training team will check that your bespoke course meets all current legislative requirements and that you have the necessary tools and skilled personnel to work safely and efficiently at all times.
