Falls from height are the biggest single cause of workplace deaths, and one of the main causes of major injury. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 defines work at height as work in any place where a person could be injured if they fell from that place. This course encourages the adoption of safe practices whilst working at height, and provides instruction in the correct use of access and safety equipment. The course does not provide detailed training on the erection of scaffolding. This CD-ROM course provides training in safe practices for all persons who work at height.
