With the Work at Height Regulations 2005 now established and the removal of the “2 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.
