Working at Heights Trainer Course FAQs
Working at heights training in the UK is governed by the Work at Height Regulations 2005 (as amended 2007), which require employers to ensure that work at height is properly planned, supervised, and carried out by competent people. The regulations apply to any work where a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury — including work on ladders, scaffolding, roofs, platforms, and even at ground level adjacent to holes or excavations. Failure to comply can result in HSE enforcement action and prosecution.Duration
