Working from height is the most frequent cause of major accidents to workers. It accounts for around 8% of non-fatal injuries at work in recent years, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Work at height legislation requires that employers assess the risks from height work and go on to plan the work to conduct it safely. They must conduct work at height risk assessments to ensure that they are properly identifying and controlling the risks involved.
As part of their controls, they must ensure that work is adequately planned, supervised, and conducted by skilled persons. This also involves using the right equipment for working at height. Therefore, this e-learning course provides vital knowledge to workers working at heights, so they learn how to keep themselves safe at work.
