Courtley’s Working at Height training course aims to give those who work at height the knowledge they need to reduce potential risks involved with their working practices. Whether they are working on a roof, on a ladder, or on scaffolding, they will learn safe systems of work for each type of equipment. As well as learning how to spot potential problems, further reducing the possibility of accidents.
Falling from a ladder is one of the most common causes of workplace injuries which occur as a result of falls from height. Learning how to choose the right type of ladder or stepladder, and set it up correctly, will greatly reduce the chance of a fall from height in the workplace.
