Working at heights – courses that provide safety, competence and legally required training

Working at height encompasses all work performed above ground level and can be both challenging and risky. Whether you are working on scaffolding, ladders, roofs, poles or masts, proper training is essential to ensure safety. This includes knowledge of risk assessment, hazards, selection and use of equipment, and how to work safely at height.

Planning, thorough training and a constant focus on safety are key to reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring effective working at height. In addition, legislation requires training for working at height, making skills development necessary for both individuals and companies.
