Working At Heights Training Course

When working at a height, falling is a major issue for concern amongst employers, and it continues to be one of the biggest causes of fatal and serious injuries in the workplace. A place of work is at a height when the person could be injured if they were to fall from it, even when at or below ground level. The Work At Height Regulations 2005 requires that all work at height must be properly planned and that those carrying it out are trained and competent to safely undertake the task.

Our Working At Heights Online Course ensures that you fulfil your statutory duty to keep employees safe and compliant to reduce the risk of a worker falling or an object falling and injuring someone below. This comprehensive Working at Heights Training Course covers safe working at height practices and the safe use and maintenance of any working at height equipment in accordance with the HSE's Work At Height Regulations.

Please note: This e-learning health and safety course only provides awareness education. Additional face-to-face training would be needed in order to complete the all-round skills and knowledge to be able to carry this forward practically in your organisation.
