Working at Height

Overview Falls from height contribute to a significant number of

accidents every year. Many of these falls are as simple as

falling off a ladder, significantly changing people’s working and

family lives.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 a PCBU must

ensure the health and safety of workers and that other people

are not put at risk by its work.

Our training looks at the systematic approach to assessing

risks associated with height work particularly where the

reasonably practicable control requires the wearing of a

harness in a work positioning, fall restraint or fall arrest

system.
