What you will learn

 

This course includes theory and practical training. A big focus is on climbing safely while minimizing big falls (fall factors). We will cover how to perform in-depth pre-job planning so that you understand all the hazards and risks involved, and learn how to mitigate them beforehand. Students will walk away from the course with added tips on how to improve their climbing and rescue skills.

These skills help encompass a safer way to work at height that meets regulation.

Topics include:

  • Risk Assessments and Rescue Plans
  • Regulations
  • Fall Protection
  • Responsibilities
  • Work positioning and Techniques

Custom Work At Height Training

We understand that sometimes you need training for a specific work site or structure. Understanding the rescue procedures, protocols, and equipment for a particular job is important and you may not have someone qualified in-house to run this program.
