MORE ABOUT WORKING AT HEIGHT TRAINING

What is Working at Height Training?

Working at Height Training is designed to teach employees how to safely perform tasks in elevated areas, where a fall could result in serious injury or even death. The training covers the proper use of equipment, identifying risks, safe working methods, and emergency procedures. The goal is to ensure workers understand their responsibilities and know how to reduce the risks involved in working at height.

Why is Working at Height Training important for compliance?

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require employers to take all reasonable steps to prevent falls when working at height. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in legal action, fines and reputational damage. Moreover, improper safety practices can lead to life-threatening accidents. Working at Height Training is essential for ensuring that your business meets these regulatory standards and safeguards the health and safety of your employees.

Who needs Working at Height Training?

Any employee who works at height, or supervises work at height, must receive Working at Height Training. This includes individuals in industries such as construction, manufacturing, warehousing and maintenance, as well as those who use ladders, scaffolds or mobile platforms. Employers must ensure that employees have the proper training to assess risks, use equipment safely and follow emergency procedures in case of a fall

How often should Working at Height Training be done?

Working at Height Training should be refreshed regularly to ensure that employees remain up to date with safety standards and best practices. It is recommended that training is refreshed every 2-3 years, or sooner if there are changes to regulations, job roles or if new equipment is introduced. Additionally, new employees should receive training during their induction, and any employees involved in incidents or near-misses should undergo refresher training to address gaps in safety knowledge.
