HEIGHT SAFETY

ADVANCED HEIGHTS TRAINING

Be confident when using height safety equipment and harness systems in the workplace.

Our Advanced Heights training course combines theory and practical exercises to ensure you and your team have the knowledge and skills to correctly approach working at heights for building, construction, and general industry sites.

It is designed for people who work at heights or are responsible for others who work at heights. The course covers information on compliance with relevant legislation and industry best practices.

The two-day height safety training covers safe work practises while working at heights, how to identify and maintain height work equipment and fall arrest systems; identify and construct anchor points for fall arrest systems; employ fall arrest systems in a commercial environment; and plan rescue techniques and emergency procedures for working at height when using fall arrest systems.

We use our purpose- built training facility for the height and harness practical work. We provide the safety equipment for the training but can use customer equipment provided this meets all standards. We can also customise training to suit conditions on your site.
