Why is Working at Height Training Important?

Working at height training reduces the risk of falls, supports employer compliance, and prepares operatives to work safely in elevated environments.

Our training helps staff understand how to assess risk, select appropriate equipment, and follow correct procedures when working above ground level.

Since the Work at Height Regulations 2005 require employers to manage height risks, height safety training is a legal requirement and operational necessity

As falls from height account for a high proportion of workplace incidents in the UK, structured instruction is vital for incident prevention and business continuity.

How Much Does Working at Height Training Cost?

The cost of height training is between £75 and £250 per person.

The cost depends on the course type, duration, and whether it includes practical components.

The cost is higher for in-person or equipment-specific courses, which provide hands-on instruction, site-based scenarios, and specialist trainer guidance.

Businesses vary in scale and training requirements, we offer flexible pricing for individual bookings, group sessions, and multi-site delivery.

What Are the Benefits of Working at Height Training?

Working at height training provides operatives with the knowledge, techniques, and awareness required to perform elevated tasks safely and legally.

Key benefits include:

• Encourages risk awareness and proactive planning for high-risk tasks.

What Does Working at Height Training Cover?

Our training covers the assessment, planning, and execution of safe work at height across a variety of environments and equipment types.

We include instruction on fall protection systems, access methods, hazard identification, equipment inspection, rescue procedures, and legal responsibilities under UK law.

Since each site and job role presents different challenges, we tailor content to include site-specific risks, control measures, and practical application where required.

Courses combine theoretical knowledge with practical exercises to ensure participants understand both the risks and the solutions.

Who Do We Train for Working at Height?

We train operatives, supervisors, and managers who are required to plan, perform, or oversee work at height in their daily duties.

This includes personnel in construction, maintenance, utilities, telecoms, cleaning, warehousing, and facilities management roles.

As legal responsibility for height safety applies to both workers and supervisors, height safety training must cover all roles involved in elevated tasks.

Training is suitable for new starters, experienced staff, and subcontractors needing to meet site entry or client requirements.

How Long Does Working at Height Training Take?

Our working at height training typically takes between half a day and 1 full day.

Training duration depends on course depth and delivery format.

Shorter awareness courses cover core legal duties and basic risk controls, while full-day courses include practical demonstrations, equipment use, and assessments.

Since downtime affects productivity, we schedule training to fit around operational requirements while ensuring thorough instruction.

For complex sites or roles, extended modules are available that include rescue planning, inspection protocols, or supervisor responsibilities.

How Long Does Our Certification Remain Valid?

Certification for working at height training remains valid for 3 years.

This is in line with industry practice and insurance expectations.

As site practices, legislation, and equipment can change over time, refresher training is recommended after this period or sooner if roles change.

Since many employers and clients require evidence of current training, we maintain digital training records and issue expiry reminders as part of our service.

This helps you avoid non-compliance while keeping your workforce consistently prepared.

Is Online Working at Height Training Available?

We offer online training for theoretical aspects of working at height, including regulations, hazard awareness, and fall prevention planning.

This option is well-suited for initial induction, refresher learning, or remote workers who need flexible access.

As some certifications require practical assessment, full compliance may require a blended approach depending on your training objectives.

Since online delivery eliminates travel and downtime, it offers a convenient and cost-effective method of upskilling your team.

Is In-Person Working at Height Training Available?

We deliver in-person training to provide hands-on instruction, site-specific advice, and full compliance with practical assessment requirements.

Training can be delivered on your site using your own equipment, or at one of our partner centres depending on your preference.

As in-person sessions allow for immediate feedback and scenario-based learning, they provide the highest level of engagement and real-world preparedness.

Courses can be tailored to specific job tasks, platform types, or access systems used within your operation.

Do We Provide Certification Following Training?

We issue formal certificates to all participants who complete their training and successfully pass the required assessment.

Each certificate contains the trainee’s name, course content, completion date, and renewal deadline, making it suitable for audits, site entry, and client records.

Since accurate documentation is essential for health and safety compliance, we store training records securely and make them accessible to authorised managers on request.

This allows for efficient workforce management and supports readiness during site inspections or project mobilisation.

Do We Provide Documentation for Audits and Compliance Inspections?

We provide full training documentation—including attendance records, certificate logs, course outlines, and assessment results.

This helps support your audits and HSE compliance inspections.

This documentation is stored securely and can be accessed by authorised site managers or health and safety leads on request.

Since proving competency is often a requirement during pre-qualification or regulatory audits, our records help demonstrate due diligence and reduce administrative burden.

Do We Offer Refresher Training for Working at Height?

We provide refresher training for individuals whose certification is due to expire or who are returning to elevated work after time away.

These courses are shorter than initial training and focus on updated regulations, risk management techniques, and reinforcement of safe practice.

As complacency and outdated knowledge increase the risk of incidents, regular refresher training helps maintain safety standards across the team.

We recommend scheduling refreshers every three years or sooner if new equipment or methods are introduced.

Do We Cover Different Types of Access Equipment in Training?

Our training includes the correct use of ladders, scaffolding, tower systems, MEWPs (Mobile Elevated Work Platforms), and rope-based systems.

Courses can be tailored to focus on the specific equipment used in your workplace or industry sector.

Since each access method carries its own risks, the training ensures that operatives understand selection, inspection, use, and emergency response procedures.

This helps reduce misuse and promotes safe handling of specialist platforms.

Are Group Discounts for Working at Height Training Available?

We provide cost savings for group training sessions, making it easier to upskill teams at scale while maintaining a consistent safety standard.

Group sessions are ideal for employers managing multiple operatives, shift-based teams, or new project mobilisations.

Group bookings reduce delivery costs and administrative effort, we pass these efficiencies on through reduced per-person pricing.

Custom packages are available for high-volume clients or multi-site coordination.

Do We Deliver CITB-Recognised or CSCS-Compatible Training?

Our working at height training follows CITB-recommended frameworks and supports CSCS card requirements when combined with the Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test.

CSCS cards are a standard requirement for access to most UK construction sites, and accredited training helps operatives meet eligibility criteria.

For clients registered under the CITB Levy Scheme, certain courses may be claimable—please enquire during booking to check eligibility.

This makes our training both practical and financially efficient for long-term workforce development.

Do We Train Supervisors and Managers in Working at Height Responsibilities?

We offer dedicated courses for supervisors and managers who oversee elevated work activities or approve access plans.

These modules include legal responsibilities, control measures, equipment inspections, and enforcement protocols under the Work at Height Regulations.

As line managers play a key role in planning and supervision, their competence directly affects safety outcomes on site.

Our training supports informed decision-making and strengthens oversight of high-risk operations.

Is Training Across Multiple Locations Available?

We deliver working at height training, including remote, multi-site, and project-based environments.

Our trainers can visit your premises or coordinate regional sessions to provide consistent content across all locations.

Since fragmented training can increase liability, our centralised system ensures record keeping, reporting, and content delivery remain uniform across your operations.

This supports legal compliance and operational efficiency regardless of site complexity.

Do We Include Rescue Planning in Working at Height Training?

We include guidance on rescue planning as part of our working at height training because employers must prepare for emergencies involving suspended or injured workers.

Training outlines how to implement fall recovery plans, use rescue equipment, and assign roles in line with legal requirements.

As rescue preparedness is a critical part of compliance under the Work at Height Regulations 2005, this component helps protect lives and reduce liability.

Do We Provide Site-Specific or Customised Working at Height Training?

We offer tailored training programmes that reflect the specific site conditions, access methods, and operational risks of your project or facility.

Course content is adapted based on building type, access points, typical work tasks, and the equipment your team uses.

Since one-size-fits-all training may miss critical risks, customisation ensures that each participant learns what is most relevant and immediately applicable.

Do We Help Identify Which Staff Require Working at Height Training?

We assist employers in identifying which roles or individuals require working at height training based on job descriptions, risk profiles, and HSE obligations.

Our consultation process includes reviewing tasks, work areas, and supervision levels to determine the appropriate training for each team member.

As incorrect role assignment can lead to gaps in compliance, this service helps ensure legal coverage and operational clarity.

Do We Include Ladder Safety in Our Training Courses?

We cover ladder safety—including setup, inspection, usage limits, and alternatives—as part of our general working at height training.

This ensures that operatives understand when ladders are appropriate, how to position them safely, and what controls should be in place.

Ladders are still widely used but commonly misused, this component addresses a key risk area highlighted by HSE.

Do We Offer Combined Courses with PASMA or IPAF Accreditation?

We offer combined course options that integrate working at height instruction with PASMA (for towers) or IPAF (for MEWPs) certification, depending on your needs.

These packages streamline training for operatives who require multiple access method approvals.

As many job roles involve mixed equipment use, combining certifications can save time and support wider site access eligibility.

Do We Train Non-Construction Personnel Who Work at Height?

We provide training for facilities staff, maintenance workers, retail fitters, and other non-construction roles that involve working at height.

Training is adapted to reflect common environments such as warehouses, schools, offices, and event spaces.

Since work at height is not exclusive to construction, our content ensures compliance across all sectors where elevated work is performed.

Do We Offer Working at Height Awareness Training for Office-Based Roles?

We provide awareness-level courses for managers, coordinators, and office-based staff who oversee contractors or sign off on risk assessments.

These sessions cover legal responsibilities, contractor management, and how to review safe systems of work.

As non-operatives may still be accountable under UK health and safety law, awareness training supports risk control and policy compliance.
