Working safely at heights

---

Falls from height can leave employees with permanent and debilitating injuries.  Falls often occur from roofs, scaffolds, ladders, trucks and mezzanine floors or into pits or holes.

Falls from less than one metre can result in serious injuries such as fractures, spinal cord injury, concussion and brain damage. The risk of serious injury or death from a fall increases significantly when working at heights over two metres.

This course is designed for those who could be required to undertake routine procedures involving working at height.  Take control of your safety.
