Work at Height Training

Training can cover fall-hazard identification, risk controls, safe access, fall-prevention and fall-protection systems, full-body harnesses, lanyards, anchorage points, lifelines, equipment checks, safe work practices, and emergency procedures. Coverage varies according to the selected training programme.

CORE-EHS offers different Work at Height programmes based on participant roles and competency requirements. Current programmes range from one to two days, depending on whether the training focuses on awareness, supervision, rescue, or fall protection and harness inspection.

Practical activities may be included depending on the selected programme. These can involve demonstrations, equipment familiarisation, fall-protection practices, harness use, inspection activities, and rescue-related exercises where applicable. Confirm the practical scope when selecting the programme for your team.

Yes, relevant programmes can cover the correct selection, fitting, use, and inspection of full-body harnesses and associated fall-protection equipment. Participants can also learn what to check before use and how to identify visible defects or unsafe conditions.

Work at height generally refers to work performed in a location where a person could be injured by falling from one level to another. This may include work on ladders, roofs, platforms, scaffolds, structures, elevated equipment, or near openings and edges.

There is no single height threshold that should be assumed for every workplace, activity, or jurisdiction. Work-at-height controls should be based on the applicable legal requirements, site procedures, and the actual risk of a fall. Employers should assess the task and apply appropriate controls before work begins.

Fall-protection topics can form part of Work at Height Training, while specialised rescue skills are covered through the appropriate rescue-focused programme. CORE-EHS offers separate training options for awareness, supervision, rescue, and fall protection so organisations can select the scope that matches their workforce requirements.
