Working at Height Training
With the Work at Height Regulations 2005 now established and the removal of the 'two metre rule', working at height has become a somewhat contentious issue in some quarters. The scope of work at height has been broadened across all industry sectors, as has the requirement to undertake a suitable and sufficient risk assessment on all work undertaken where there is a risk of injury as a result of a fall from height.
This course is aimed at enabling those responsible for such work to understand what is required when carrying out such an assessment, i.e. legislative requirements and best practice. This course will help you to minimise the risks of work at height, ensure that contractors work in a safe manner, and bring your work procedures up to date with the requirements of new legislation.
This course is for employees and operatives who are required to work at height, which may include the use of access equipment.
