WORKING AT HEIGHT PERMITS ARE REQUIRED BY ALL STATE AUTHORITIES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS IN AUSTRALIA.

 

If personnel are working in an environment with a risk of falling from one level to another, the employer is mandated to mitigate such occurrences by providing the appropriate equipment and training. Our Working at Height courses are designed to provide the necessary knowledge and practical awareness to maintain a safe work area and respond to any fall incidents. Our Work at Height Training Certificate is nationally recognised.

Upon completion of our Height Safety Training programme participants will receive a Statement of Attainment in Units of Competency:

WE CONDUCT HEIGHTS TRAINING FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY & NEVER CANCEL A PROGRAMME. Please book with confidence knowing the course will go ahead.

Additional Formal Heights Rescue Training

If your staff require formal heights rescue training, we do conduct a second day of training after the normal Safe Work at Heights course where your staff receive intensive training in heights rescue. Whilst our Working at Heights Safely Training Course covers height rescue, it does not provide a unit of competency for this specific area. With the additional day’s formal training, your staff will conduct numerous heights rescues, including self-rescue, pole top rescue, overhead rescue using a GOTCHA Kit, and overhead rescue using a ROLLGLISS heights rescue kit.

Working in Height Public Courses

Training at our site means you can send staff along for public programmes at times suitable to your work commitments. You can send up to ten staff, but for these numbers we would also arrange special dates/times for your group.

Our safe work at heights course starts at 7:20 am at our Villawood Training Centre. This course takes only ONE DAY and finishes by 3 pm. Due to the popularity of this course, we add additional programmes each week based on demand – keep an eye on this page for updates.

Working at Heights Onsite Safety Course

We can book dates and times to suit up to ten staff if you require onsite training. We arrive on-site with a purpose-built “Height Safety Training Trailer” to ensure your staff receive a quality and safe training experience. This trailer enables us to train in anchoring and the use of lanyards and rope grabs, static lines, pole straps, self-rescue descents, control rescue devices, climbing ladders with twin tails, and overhead rescue.
