Description

Course Overview

This one-day working at height course provides comprehensive theoretical and practical understanding of the legal and working practices involved when planning working at height activities. 

The day will start with the legal and technical overview. This will then lead into the practicalities of undertaking a suitable and sufficient risk assessment, prior to any work being undertaken on the site. 

The practical understanding, use of equipment and any associated PPE should give you the confidence to identify the correct equipment for the task. But it should equally give you the confidence to ask the right questions of site activities where they are unfamiliar to you, or where you require additional information to undertake the task.

This course should give you the ability to understand when you have reached your limitations and when more specialist information/support may be required. 

At the end of this course you will be assessed through a short multiple choice test and once successfully completed you will be awarded CHSG certification.
