3Choosing Equipment
Section 1
u003cpu003eWorking at Height is not JUST limited to being somewhere high above ground level. The HSE defines working at height as being anywhere which “if there were no precautions in place, a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury” – meaning fall protection and prevention needs to be in place. In this section, we’ll look at what legal responsibilities you and your employer have with regards to safety when working at height.u003c/pu003e
Section 2
u003cpu003eWhether you're working up a skyscraper or you're on the back of a lorry unloading a delivery, working at height always comes with risks. When most people think of working at height, they tend to imagine being really high up – on the roof of a building, for example – but actually, most accidents from height occur no more than two metres from the ground. In this section we’ll look at ways of reducing the risks of working at any height, what safety precautions should be taken, and why risk assessments are so important to preventing falls at work.u003c/pu003e
Section 3
u003cpu003eWhen it comes to choosing the right equipment for working at height, there are many things you need to consider. You need to think about the equipment’s suitability for the job and the stability of the surrounding area; you need to think about the length of time you’ll be using the equipment and lots more. This final section of the course will cover everything you need to think about before choosing equipment to use for work at height, you’ll also see some useful tips on how to stay safe when using it and best practices for working at height.u003c/pu003e
About this course
u003cpu003eIn the UK, u003cstrongu003efalls from height account for over a quarter of all workplace fatalities, making it the leading cause of death at worku003c/strongu003e. Add to this 43,000 non-fatal accidental injuries and you begin to get an idea of just how dangerous working at height can be.u003c/pu003ennu003cpu003eHowever, despite being both common and dangerous, falls from height are also completely avoidable. All it takes is a little extra care, planning, and attention to detail and falls from height can be almost entirely prevented; whilst the effects of those that do still occur can be dramatically reduced.u003c/pu003ennu003cpu003eAt its core, this Working at Height Training programme takes the requirements of the u003cstrongu003eWorking at Height Regulations 2005u003c/strongu003e and the best-practice suggestions of the accompanying u003cstrongu003eHSEu003c/strongu003e guidance document and creates a course which is simple and concise yet comprehensive, ensuring that everyone understands their responsibilities and how to stay safe.u003c/pu003ennu003cpu003eThe course breaks the topic of working at height down into three easy-to-follow sections; the legal responsibilities of both employers and employees; the dangers associated with work at height and how to stay safe; and an in-depth look at the kinds of equipment which might be used, their benefits, and how to manage risks working at height poses.u003c/pu003ennu003cpu003eWorking in confined spaces?

-
Anyone who performs tasks at height, including using ladders, scaffolds, or elevated platforms, should receive working at height training.
-
The frequency of training depends on the type of work being performed and the risks associated with it. Workers who perform tasks at low heights may only need training once a year, while those who work at extreme heights may require more frequent training.
