Course Details
Since the implementation of the Working at Heights regulations in 2005, all companies that employ people who may work at heights, have a responsibility to ensure that their staff are aware of the risks that come with such work, and how to manage them.
In most cases where work is required to be carried out at height, the use of a harness will also be required. This is why Alpha have combined the NPORS accredited Working at Heights training programme with their Harness Safety Awareness course, to deliver a one-day training programme that will help to fulfil the requirements of your organisation under health and safety regulation and safeguard employees.
Each member of the workforce required to work at height, should also receive training in how to effectively and safely perform their duties.
