Course Details

Overview

The "Working at Height Safety" course is a practical occupational safety and health program designed to build structured competence in fall prevention, fall protection systems, anchor points, equipment inspection, fall-clearance calculation, rescue planning, scaffolds, and ladders. The program combines technical knowledge, recognized international standards, local compliance awareness, operational checklists, and applied workplace examples.

Participants move from core concepts to practical application through case studies, templates, inspection tools, exercises, and scenario-based discussions. The course is suitable for organizations that want production-ready safety practices, stronger compliance, and clearer field implementation.

Program Duration: The course is designed as an intensive 3-day program (15 training hours), with the option to expand to 5 days when hands-on equipment training is required.

Objectives

Program Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Identify fall hazards and apply the hierarchy of controls to work-at-height activities.
Select fall-prevention and fall-arrest systems suitable for the task.
Inspect harnesses, lanyards, connectors, ladders, and scaffold components before use.
Calculate fall clearance and choose safe anchor points.
Prepare a rescue plan for suspended workers and coordinate emergency response.
Supervise work-at-height tasks and verify permits, access, PPE, and communication.

Target Audience

HSE officers, safety supervisors, and occupational health and safety practitioners.
Operations, production, maintenance, facilities, and site managers responsible for safe work execution.
Engineers, technicians, team leaders, and supervisors working in industrial, construction, oil and gas, utilities, or service environments.
Internal auditors, compliance officers, emergency response members, and risk-management professionals.
Recent graduates in engineering, safety, environmental sciences, or technical disciplines who want structured practical safety capability.

Competencies

Core Competencies
