Frequently asked questions

Any place where a person could fall a distance liable to cause injury. That includes ladders and stepladders, scaffolds, flat roofs, mezzanines, and working near floor openings or edges, even at low levels.
What does working at height training cover?
It covers the hierarchy of control for avoiding and reducing risk, choosing the right access equipment, inspecting ladders and other equipment, fragile surfaces, and how to plan and supervise work at height safely.
Who needs working at height training?
Construction workers, maintenance staff, facilities managers, roofers, window cleaners, and anyone who works at height as part of their role. It also suits supervisors and managers responsible for planning work at height.
