The Working at Height Course ensures that employers and employees meet their responsibilities as stated under the  Work at Height Regulations 2005.

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 is very clear that anyone who works at height in any place, including a place at or below ground level, should receive suitable training to prove that they are competent and safe in their work.  This training course outlines the relevant laws and guidelines to ensure worker safety.

This entirely online course is also suitable as part of a school, college or other educational programme.

COURSE DURATION.

The estimated duration of the Working at Height course is 2 hours. Candidates may log in and out of the system and therefore do not need to complete the course in a single sitting. Learner course progress is automatically saved, so that they may return to the course whenever they wish and as a result course completion is entirely in the hands of the learner.

COURSE ACCESS.

Learners receive 90 days of access to the Working at Height course materials from the date of registration, therefore the course can be completed straightaway or at one’s leisure.  Learners receive individual login details and can access the course using any device, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  This provides learners with the flexibility to train on the go, whenever and wherever they wish, providing a more economical training option for small and large businesses.

Candidates who are registered by their manager using the GROUP option will receive 90 days of course access from the date an account is assigned to them, therefore allowing businesses to purchase multiple user accounts, safe in the knowledge that they will not expire until they are assigned to learners.

Course access ceases immediately following a successful final exam submission, thereafter course materials can not be viewed.

WHO REQUIRES THIS COURSE?

The Working at Height course has been designed for those who work in an environment where there is the potential to fall from one level to a level below.  This course is recommended for workers such as Roof equipment installers, Shelf stackers, Window cleaners, High vehicle technicians, Machinery maintenance personnel etc.

The employer must ensure that training is provided under the 2005 regulations.

COURSE CONTENT.

The Working at Height course consists of 4 core units, concluded by a final exam.

UNIT 1 – WORKING AT HEIGHT LEGISLATION.
UNIT 2 – RISK ASSESSMENT.
UNIT 3 – HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS.
UNIT 4 – WORK LOCATION ISSUES.

Each unit consists of topics and interim quizzes which must be completed before progress.  At each stage, learners must click a ‘MARK COMPLETE’ button to progress. This serves as a means by which course progress can be tracked and is particularly useful in situations where learners are enrolled by a manager.

Using clearly defined Units and Topics provides candidates with a structured framework that allows them to set achievement targets as they progress through the course.  Each course section is marked with a green check following completion, allowing learners to leave and easily recommence training.
