Working at Height

The term working at height applies to a wide range of situations. These range from the obvious ones like working on platforms, ladders, scaffolds or stages, but also include situations such as working alongside deep trenches. This is because the crucial thing to understand about working at height is that it's not how far you climb, but how far you can fall.
Working at height can expose workers to particularly severe health and safety risks, and continues to be a major cause of death and serious injury. Employers have a duty to protect anyone who might be exposed to these risks by ensuring that any form of working at height is planned, supervised and carried out safely.
This online health and safety training course on working at height is made up of 11 modules and covers such issues including regulations, responsibilities, risk assessment, minimising danger and much more. It is aimed at anyone who undertakes work at height, or who employs people who regularly work at height.
There are multiple choice questions at the end of each unit. Those who successfully achieve the minimum mark required to pass these assessments are rewarded with a printable certificate.
An e-learning course is ideal for those who cannot get time away from the workplace and do not require a tailored course which deals with specific risks. If you do, then an open course or bespoke/in-house course will be much more suitable for your requirements.
The course comprises the following modules:
- Module 1: Introducing Work at Height
- Module 2: The Dangers of Work at Height
- Module 3: The Work at Height Regulations
- Module 4: Summary of Duty Holder's Responsibilities
- Module 5: Employer's Responsibilities
- Module 6: The Hierarchy of Control
- Module 7: Avoiding Work at Height Wherever Possible
- Module 8: Prevent Risk of Falls
- Module 9: Minimise Consequences
- Module 10: The Risk Assessment
- Module 11: Course Summary
