Course Overview:
During the half day, you will explore the hazards of work above ground level and the general requirements necessary to control them. Additionally, it will feature the safe working practices for common forms of access equipment.
The course is designed for those with responsibility for managing, supervising or generally exposed to the risks associated with working at height. Working at height remains one of the biggest causes of fatalities and major injuries. Common cases include falls from ladders and through fragile surfaces. ‘Work at height’ means work in any place where, if there were no precautions in place, a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury (for example a fall through a fragile roof).
