The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require employers to ensure that a sufficient risk assessment is carried out so that all potential work at height risks are effectively identified, controlled and managed.
Every employer must also ensure that employees are appropriately trained to ensure that they can carry out their work safely.
Our half day Work at Height course is suitable for all employees and individuals who may undertake work at height operations.
Anyone who works at height in any place, including a place at or below ground level, is required to undertake training to prove that they are competent and safe in their work.
It is the employer’s duty to ensure that this training is provided: Regulation 5 of the Work at Height Regulations 2005 states that employers must ensure all employees engaged in any work at height activity must be competent to do so. This includes, but is not limited to, professions such as:
- Gutter cleaning
- Solar panel installation
- Putting up displays
- Minor roof work
- Shelf stacking
- Window cleaning
- Machine maintenance
- Excavations
