Working At Height Awareness

£179.00

Discover why it is so important to be able to identify and manage the potential risks that working at height presents, and learn how you can actively contribute towards creating a safer working environment for employers and employees alike.

There are a number of professions that require employees to work at height for prolonged periods of time such as construction. Many people make the mistake of thinking that unless they work in this or a similar industry then taking a course in working at height safety awareness simply isn’t necessary. In fact, it is relevant and applicable for anyone who works at any height that may result in accident or personal injury.

It’s important to remember that a person doesn’t have to be working at a great height for there to be a potential risk of accident or injury. In fact, even working at a relatively low height can present risks and even a minor fall can cause injury. Landing awkwardly from even a low height can result in nasty bruises or even worse a broken limb. There’s also the associated risk that such a fall, however minor, could aggravate a pre-existing medical condition. When we take all this into consideration, it’s easy to see why Managing at Height Awareness is a relevant and sensible training option for a great many employees working across a broad range of different industries.
