Dates for Working At Height Training Courses in 2024

At our approved FASET training centre, (Middlewich, Cheshire) we can offer a full range of working at height training courses.

Working at height training courses are essential for ensuring the safety of individuals who are required to work in elevated positions, such as construction workers, maintenance personnel etc. These courses aim to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to carry out tasks at heights in a safe and responsible manner.

In the United Kingdom, where safety regulations are stringent, working at height training is particularly crucial. Participants learn how to identify potential hazards and how to implement control measures effectively. Compliance with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 is vital, and these courses ensure that individuals and organisations adhere to these regulations, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. By investing in working at height training courses, businesses not only enhance safety but also demonstrate their commitment to the well-being of their employees.

See below our current program of courses:
