Working at Heights Training
RIIWHS204E Work Safely at Heights
The Working at Heights course is a one day (8 hour) height safety training program that deals with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) based fall protection systems. This nationally recognised working at heights training program can be run at either our purpose built height safety training centre or at the student’s place of work.
As with all of Safety Access & Rescue’s courses, each Working at Heights training course is contextualised to the student’s occupational situation. In addition, during this program we always make sure students are given adequate time to become familiar with their equipment & get hands on experience; this means that participants return to the workplace more confident and able to start work immediately.
If you are interested in working at heights in a natural environment, please have a look at our Height Safety Training for Natural Surfaces course.
Course Outline
The first part of the day is theoretical and covers:
- Relevant industry bodies
- WHS legislation, codes of practice & standards
- Risk management considerations (ISO 31000:2009)
- The hierarchy of fall protection options (AS 1891)
- Forces relating to falling & anchors
