Safe Working at Heights Training
This is a nationally accredited course that covers theoretical and practical aspects of working safely at height. The training is designed to equip workers with the knowledge and skills to safely work in any height situation. No matter what industry you are in, or what state of Australia you are working, if an employer has personnel working where they can fall from one to level to another, and there is a risk of injury, provision is to be made to prevent falls, appropriate equipment is to be made available and appropriate training is to be given. Please make yourself aware of the National Workplace Health and Safety Act, and in particular the National Code Of Practice for “Managing the Risks of Falls at the Workplace.

We conduct weekly public Height Safety Training courses at our Guildford Training Centre, located in the centre of Sydney near Parramatta. We can also book in groups of employees on any date as agreed upon, either at our training centre or your site. Please understand that site training requires a suitable practical area, where we can safely access heights to conduct effective training. We will normally conduct a no cost site inspection prior to site training for suitability and safety of all involved.
Our one day Height Safety Course provides students with a sound understanding of how to set up and work safely at height in all situations. The course covers working in fall restraint, working in fall arrest, establishing appropriate anchor points, safe use of ladders, working from scaffolding, working in EWPs, using horizontal static lines, inertia reels and how to conduct a heights rescue. Practical exercises cover the correct fitting of a harness, specific knot tying, setting up rope grabs, conducting a self rescue as well as conducting an overhead rescue of a suspended worker.

Safe Working at Heights Services
At Sydney Safety Training we try and cater for all of your working at heights requirements. Our focus has and will be nationally accredited competency based courses, and we have found that as a result of providing these programs, other services and needs arise.
Working at heights equipment hire is available here at Sydney Safety Training. You may need heights gear to work safely from a roof or ledge. There may be a need to have a rescue kit to comply with standards in case of a rescue. You may even require using a tripod and rescuing device to lower workers in and out of an area to work from. When working from heights, you must have a rescue plan, hence the need for rescue equipment. All this heights equipment and more can be hired for daily or long term use from us at Sydney safety training.
Safe working at heights audits, risk assessments and rescue plans can be arranged for you, by us. Working from heights areas must be identified, and a risk assessment and rescue plan must be carried out prior to working there. This is another service we can provide.
The sale of heights equipment and other PPE is another service provided for here at Sydney Safety Training. Items such as tripods, rescue devices such as Gotcha kits, harnesses, spreader bars, and other PPE are available in STOCK, and these items are tagged prior to sale and an equipment register is created and supplied as part of the sale. This ensures that your new equipment is compliant and current. We can also tag and test your own equipment and this is usually turned around in less than a day, simply drop off at the centre. Alternatively our staff can arrange to come to your facility, tag your equipment, and then create a register and email you a copy as part of the service.
As you can see, Sydney Safety Training is more than just a training company. Feel free to drop in and inspect our state of the art training centre with superior height safety training areas as well as a full retail and service facilities at 211 Woodville Road VILLAWOOD, directly opposite Bunnings.
