Working at Heights Courses

Training for working at heights is a high risk occupation and one that requires specific training around awareness and management – governed by OHS and WHS compliance. When workers need to work at heights it is imperative that they are competent to minimise risks to themselves personally. Your business also has a duty of care and legal responsibility to ensure that staff are adequately trained around the risks involved.

As the construction boom continues in Australia, the unfortunate side note of this is that many construction workers and related services workers are left working without proper tickets and training. It seems every week there is a news story of someone falling from heights or having a near fatal accident. A good example of this was spotted recently at our training facility in Arncliffe (just near the Sydney airport). There were 2 workers at least 30 metres up on a neighbouring building working without harnesses less than a metre from the edge of a roof. Youch. So potentially dangerous – especially if you add poor weather conditions to the equation.

So what can you do? Education and training not only keeps your workers safe, it’s just good business. Your business performs jobs properly, risks are decreased and your reputation as a good operator increases.

Our Nationally Recognised Working at Heights Training Courses are conducted face-to-face, are accepted in every State and can be delivered to on your worksite or public locations around the country. With your heights training complete, you will be recognised by State regulators as having the necessary training to meet WHS and OHS regulations and codes of practice. As the AlertForce qualifications are competency-based and Nationally Recognised, the training can open many opportunities, increase skill sets and thereby ultimately increasing the value that staff can provide business.
