So, what can you expect when enrolling onto our Work at Height Train the Trainer and why is ensuring the necessary training in this area important for all?

The importance of work at height training

Work at height training reduces the risks of working above the ground to prevent accidents and injuries. With the right training at their disposal, individual employees can take charge of assessing height-related risks, implement the relevant controls and safety equipment, and get on with the job of working at height as safely, securely and confidently as possible.

It is also important to note that providing adequate work at height training is a legal requirement for UK employers, who must take steps to remain compliant with The Work at Height Regulations 2005.
