Work at Height Training is a half-day, classroom-based course that gives delegates the knowledge to work safely at height and to meet their duties under the Work at Height Regulations 2005. The course covers the definition of work at height and why it matters, the relevant legislation and the responsibilities it places on employers, the self-employed and those who control the work of others, and how to plan and risk-assess work at height. A central theme is the hierarchy of controls — avoiding work at height where possible, preventing falls where it can't be avoided, and minimising the consequences of a fall where the risk remains — along with selecting the right access equipment for the task, recognising hazards such as fragile surfaces and adverse weather, and emergency and rescue considerations.
The course combines clear theory with group exercises and is assessed through ongoing participation and a short knowledge check. On successful completion, delegates receive a certificate of completion; we recommend refresher training every three years to stay current. We deliver the course at our Croydon centre or on site at your premises across London and the South East, with group discounts available for teams.
