Course Details

Introduction

Since the implementation of the Working at Heights regulations in 2005, all employers who assign duties relating to work at heights, have a responsibility to ensure that their staff are aware of the risks that come with such work, and how to manage them.

In most cases where work is required to be carried out at height, the use of a harness will also be required. This is why Alpha have combined the NPORS accredited Safe Working at Heights N404 with the Harness & Fall Arrest safety programme N723, to deliver a one-day training programme that will help to fulfil the requirements of your organisation under health and safety regulations and safeguard employees.

This course is designed as a safe introduction to working at heights and the common hazards and risks associated with such work.
