Off the shelf elearning. Staying safe at work.

Working at height

Working at height could be something as simple as a cleaner using a stepladder to dust cobwebs from the corner of a wall, to a trickier activity of changing a light bulb on a high ceiling. Accidents, when working at height, is the number one cause of work-related deaths in the UK. In this module, you will learn the information you need to be able to work at height safely, and within the regulations that are defined within the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Working at Height Regulations 2005.
