Conducted by our experienced height safety technicians, our working at heights course is designed to train participants to safely carry out work at height by providing an understanding of the legal requirements, as well as practical risk control measures, safe systems of work and equipment that can be applied to any working at heights situation, to ensure work conducted at heights is carried out safely.

This course provides the competency requirements to undertake safe working practices when working at heights or depths. Any person who is exposed to the risk of a fall likely to cause injury in the workplace (across all industries) should attend this course.
