Fulfil your obligations and responsibilities with our online Working At Height Safety Awareness training course. Sign-up Today!
Falls from height are one of the biggest causes of workplace fatalities and major injuries, often from ladders and through fragile roofs. The Working at Height Regulations 2005 is there to try and prevent death and injury from a fall from height.
Working at height means working in any place where, if there were no precautions in places such as railings or fall protection, a person could fall a distance liable to cause injury. There is no minimum height restriction to classify work as being ‘at height’ and people who do so must have the necessary skills, knowledge and experience.
This is a general awareness course for employees and employers covering all aspects of ladder safety. The course is designed to satisfy the training and awareness requirements of relevant legislation and regulations including the Working at Height Regulations 2005 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. It also meets the requirements of CHAS, SafeContractor, ConstructionLline, Exor and other SSIP registrations plus HSE safety training requirements.

The Working at Height safety awareness certificate has no expiry date because there is no formally recognised period of validity for any health and safety training. The HSE recommends refresher training is carried out whenever it is felt necessary. Safety registration bodies such as CHAS, SafeContractor, ConstructionLine & SMAS and other members of the SSiP scheme recommend most re-training is done every 3 years.
