Who is this course for?

This course is for workers who need to understand and apply safe working at heights procedures. You might be starting a new job, moving to a different site or completing training requested by your employer.

Practical training and assessment

Your training combines explanations with practical activities so you can practise using the equipment and following safe work procedures. Ask questions as you go—our trainers are here to help you understand the task.

Assessment includes knowledge questions and observation of your practical skills. You need to demonstrate the required skills and knowledge to be assessed as competent. Attendance alone does not result in a Statement of Attainment.
