Overview of the Course:

 

The Working at Heights Refresher covers the requirements for those who work on a construction site or for those who need to enter a construction site. Everyone must be trained to understand guardrails, floor covers as well as their responsibilities in height safety.

The course covers both a theoretical as well as a practical portion. Firstly, we will start with the theory which is then followed by a short test and then the practical. During the practical we do provided harness and lanyards however, if you do have your own we encourage that you bring them and we can also properly fit them to you. Also, we do have harness and lanyards available for purchase if you need. Upon successful completion of the course you will receive your Working at Heights certification.

Above all, the reason for Working at Heights Refresher training is simple; falls are the single largest contributor to construction fatalities (deaths). Therefore, better training should reduce the number of construction workers getting killed due to falls. There are 2 parts to the course described below.
