Safe working at height - equipment, inspection and use
This working at height training course covers the safe use of steps, ladders and harnesses, plus the maintenance and management of working at height equipment. Content includes the Working at Height Regulations, accident statistics, risk assessment and planning, inspection of access equipment, and safe use. The focus is practical - selecting the right equipment, inspecting before use, and using it safely. The course aligns with Opus's ladder inspection and harness inspection courses as part of a wider working at height programme.

02
Delivered by a working Opus consultant
