The Working at Heights for Construction course provides essential guidance for workers, supervisors, and managers on how to work safely when carrying out tasks above ground level. Following HSE guidance and the Work at Height Regulations 2005, this training highlights the common hazards associated with falls, including ladders, scaffolds, roofs, and mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs).
Learners will understand how to assess risks, select and use appropriate access equipment, implement fall protection systems, and follow safe working practices. The course also emphasises the importance of planning, supervision, and regular equipment inspections. By the end, participants will be better equipped to prevent falls, reduce injuries, and maintain a safe working environment at height.
