This specialist course covers all aspects relating to working at height and rescue and provides delegates with an understanding of why rescue procedures are needed, and how to plan for and successfully complete a rescue. This course is ideal for employers, managers, operatives and others with health and safety obligations such as building owners who have a duty of care to those working on their premises.
Course Summary
Work at Height is the main cause of workplace fatalities so it is important that all employers and duty holders ensure that the work is planned, supervised and carried out safely. An essential part of the planning process must also include arrangements for emergencies and rescue in the event of a fall. Rescue is the responsibility of the employer/building owner and NOT the emergency services.

The course gradually builds up experience and knowledge of how to use the rescue kit and complete a rescue whilst working at height. To achieve certification the delegate must complete every part of the course and demonstrate to the trainer complete confidence when carrying out a rescue.
On successful completion of this course, candidates will receive an industry recognised Certificate of Attendance.
