Description

Falls from height result in the largest number of workplace fatalities (HSE statistics). Our working at heights training course gives candidates an understanding of safe work from height. This can, therefore significantly reduce the chances of fatal injury when implemented correctly.

Additionally, the Working at Heights Regulations 2005 state no person should be allowed to engage in a working at height activity unless competent to do so. Therefore, making it a necessity for staff to receive adequate training.

Course Contents

Candidates will learn important topics including filling out risk assessments, identifying hazards and choosing the correct equipment. The full course content is:

  • Working at heights definition
  • Completing and implementing risk assessments
  • The merits of risk assessments and safety inspections
  • Working at height legislation
  • Planning work
  • Choosing equipment
  • Basic maintenance and safety procedures
  • Hazard identification

Assessment and Certification

Candidates will undertake a short multiple-choice test paper to test their understanding.

Successful candidates will receive certificates accredited through Highfield Qualifications shortly after the training day.

We recommend renewing this qualification at least every 3 years to stay up to date with the latest procedures and legislation.

Who needs Working at Heights training?

The Working at Heights Regulations 2005 state,

“Every employer shall ensure that no person engages in any activity, including organisation, planning and supervision, in relation to work at height or work equipment for use in such work unless he is competent to do so or, if being trained, is being supervised by a competent person.”

Therefore, it is necessary for anyone involved in working at height activity to receive formal training.

This Working at Heights training course is for those working above or at ground level that are at risk of injury in the event of a fall. As a result, the course is ideal for those working on ladders, scaffolding or near to holes in the floor. This includes professions such as:

  • Tree surgeons
  • Electricians
  • Window cleaners
  • Construction workers
  • Gutter cleaners

This course serves as an excellent introduction, assumes no prior knowledge and is suitable for every employee, supervisor or team leader involved in work at height.

Working at Height Regulations 2005 Key Points

  • Employers need to properly plan work, including appropriate supervision and a safe manner of working.
  • No Working at height takes place in unsafe weather conditions.
  • No person should engage in a working at height activity unless they are competent to do so.
  • Completion of Working at height risk assessments, prior to works.
  • Where possible, avoiding working at height activities.
  • Where practicable, someone falling from height is prevented sufficiently.
  • Employees must respect the dangers of working at height and use work equipment in accordance with the training provided.

    Kevin Taylor – April 24, 2018

    The course was well run, excellent instruction in a very welcoming training centre. Although it was only a half day course there was lots of relevant information delivered at a manageable pace. I would recommend Livius training to any company, we will certainly be using them again for future courses.

    Chris harvey – November 9, 2017

    working with in the construction industry its is critical that our employee meet health and safety standers to ensure a good working environment not only for them self but others.

    the course was very helpful in ensuring that we meet this stander-ed, i would recommend livius training to anyone and have also set other various courses there

  4. Rated 5 out of 5

    Helen Owen – October 12, 2017

    Working within the Construction Industry means that our workforce must all have a certificate for working at heights and the training course provided by Livius covered all aspects.

    The venue is in an ideal location for our team who are located in various parts of Yorkshire and parking is available on site. The trainer explained everything clearly and did not rush the content so it was easier for staff to understand and take notes.

    I would recommend this course to anyone and will be booking future training courses with Livius.
