Work Safely At Heights

The aim of this course is to provide students with the comprehensive understanding of how to correctly use fall protection equipment in a range of environments.

Following training students will be able to identify the hazards of work at height, understand key legislation, and the various categories of personal fall prevention and protection equipment including their characteristics and limitations.

Students will also be required to carry out pre and post-use inspections of all equipment. It’s an unfortunate fact that falls in the workplace do occur and present a major risk of serious injury and even death.

But that doesn’t mean that this situation is acceptable. Our height safety course is designed to educate workers on how to effectively eliminate and control the risks associated with workplace falls.

This nationally accredited course can be undertaken by persons who are required to perform any work at heights activities where there is a risk of injury and therefore a requirement to eliminate this risk or utilise personal fall protection systems or equipment.

Open new opportunities for your business by being proactive. Many persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) who send their team members to us for training do so because a tender for a larger than usual project has been successful.

This project will require onsite workers to hold a certificate which evidences they have been assessed as competent to work safely at heights.

That’s not a problem! We can get your team trained and up to speed in no time with our comprehensive, nationally accredited one-day course.

But if you want to take a more proactive approach instead of a reactive one, our Working Safely at Heights Course is a fantastic way to upskill your team members now for when they may need these skills in the future.

Having your employees trained and ready to go will allow you to expand your services into new areas and quickly mobilise your team to take on those contracts that previously seemed out of reach.
