Safe Working at Height
The Safe Working at Height course is
designed to assist employers and employees in understanding the
characteristics, hazards and legislative requirements needed to
operate safely at height.
Participants are introduced to important legislation, codes of
practice and Australian Standards relating to working at height. An
understanding of hazard identification, job safety analyses and the
height safety hierarchy of control will be achieved.
Safety issues related to working at heights are covered, from how
forces are generated in falls to correct selection and use of anchor
points and height safety equipment. Other areas introduced include
the use of ladders, scaffolding and EWPs.
Participants are encouraged throughout the training to develop,
participate and apply skills in the safe management of working at
height, from correctly fitting a full body harness and identifying harness
features, through to equipment inspection and maintenance.
They will experience and use a wide selection of height safety
equipment, tailored to suit the company’s individual requirements
throughout the course.
