Working At Heights (Managing Risks)

This course teaches risk management and the prevention of safety incidents and is critical in managing workplace safety under the Health and Safety at Work Act. People who complete this unit standard will be able to work well in established industry operating and maintenance environments and plan tasks and operations where fall risks exist.

This is a practical programme that requires the completion of two safety plans from a work environment.

Course Content:

• Assess the risks when work is to be undertaken at height and there is a fall potential
• Prepare and review safety plan to manage risk when fall prevention strategies are required

The safety plans developed will be specific to a particular task or activity within your relevant industry and will produce a ‘best fit’ solution to both control risk of falls as well as effectively complete the required operation.
