Overview of the Working At Heights Refresher course:
The Working at Heights Refresher course is essential for anyone working on or entering a construction site. Participants must understand guardrails, floor covers, and their responsibilities in height safety.
The course includes both theoretical and practical components. We begin with theory followed by a brief test, then practical exercises. While we provide harnesses and lanyards for practical sessions, participants are encouraged to bring their own for proper fitting. Harnesses and lanyards are also available for purchase if needed. Upon successful completion, participants receive their Working at Heights certification.
The primary goal of the Working at Heights Refresher training is to reduce fatalities from falls, which are a significant hazard in construction.
