Introduction

** Nationally Recognised Online Refresher **

Working at heights training is required by anyone who will either be working at a heights or around objects that could fall from heights. There is no minimum height required for a job to be classed as working at heights. This course covers all aspects of working at heights whether it be climbing a ladder, working from a platform, to working on a roof. This course will look at different aspects of working at heights to consider when completing a task such as structures you are working on, the ground level and if it is stable, weather conditions and how this impacts how the tasks will be completed, and lighting conditions if they are suitable. This course will cover the following aspects:

Identify work requirements | Why do you need to work at heights? What equipment will you require? What do you need to do before you can complete the task?
Identify work procedures and instructions | Who do you need to talk to before you do the work? Have you checked the work area and equipment?
Access and install equipment | Has all equipment been checked before use?
Perform work at heights | Complete the job safely
Clean up work area | Ensure all equipment is checked and put away correctly
