The risks imposed by working at height should be considered as part of your overall H&S risk assessment.
Where there is a potential for personal injury, the need for specific precautions is essential. Guard against height-related injuries caused by falls from ladders, vehicles, roofs, scaffolding, gangways, as well as injuries caused by falling objects.
SMH T&SS’s health and safety training course for Working at Height has been developed by Health, Safety and Environment professionals who will ensure you receive a high quality training experience. Designed for all levels of employees and management who undertake or plan to work at height, whether on scaffolds, MEWPS, rooftops, baskets or ladders. You will be made aware of current H&S legislation, equipment, techniques, accident prevention and rescue.
Working at Height H&S courses can be held at either your own venue or at an external conference centre and are regularly held at a number of different venues across the UK.
