About this course

Falls from height account for over a quarter of all workplace fatalities, making it the leading cause of death at work. Add to this 43,000 non-fatal accidental injuries and you begin to get an idea of just how dangerous working at height can be.

However, despite being both common and dangerous, falls from height are also completely avoidable. All it takes is a little extra care, planning, and attention to detail and falls from height can be almost entirely prevented; whilst the effects of those that do still occur can be dramatically reduced.

The course breaks the topic of working at height down into three easy-to-follow sections; the legal responsibilities of both employers and employees; the dangers associated with work at height and how to stay safe; and an in-depth look at the kinds of equipment which might be used, their benefits, and how to manage risks working at height poses.

• Who needs working at height training?

Anyone who performs tasks at height, including using ladders, scaffolds, or elevated platforms, should receive working at height training.

• How often should working at height training be conducted?

The frequency of training depends on the type of work being performed and the risks associated with it. Workers who perform tasks at low heights may only need training once a year, while those who work at extreme heights may require more frequent training.
