It covers what constitutes work at height, the safety issues, and how to assess and reduce some of the risks.
It contains real examples of where things have gone wrong and some practical steps that could have been taken to prevent these incidents.
The term work at height applies to a wide range of situations ranging from the obvious ones like working on platforms, ladders, scaffolds or stages, to working alongside deep trenches.
This is because the crucial thing to understand about working at height is that it’s not how high you climb, but the fact you can fall.
‘Falls’ doesn’t just mean people falling from heights. If materials or equipment fall, that will obviously present an equally dangerous hazard to anyone below.
All working at height situations are covered by health and safety legislation. Chief among these is the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
These regulations confer legal duties on employers and employees to assess, control and minimise risks and hazards from work at height.
This course covers topics including the dangers of working at height, the regulations, the hierarchy of controls, assessing risk and much more.
It’s vital to understand all this because working at height can be extremely dangerous.
More construction workers die through falling from height than any other cause.
Please note that this is an awareness course only, if your duties include working at height you will also need further practical training, you can get in touch with us to arrange this.
