Working at Heights Course Overview

Working at heights is a high-risk environment. Hence, ensuring you have the correct training is essential for safeguarding the wellbeing of your you or your workmen. With our working at heights course in Brisbane, we educate our clients on all of the potential hazards associated with working at heights and how to mitigate these risks.

If you’re working in an area that involves the risk of falling, you are obliged to have a working at heights ticket. In most cases it is the responsibility of the employer to compile a safe work method statement to outline the risks that may be involved, while ensuring each employee has the correct skills and certifications to complete the task.

Of course, the best way to regulate working at heights is to eliminate the risk in the first place. Some jobs may require scaffolding or other kinds of barricades when working at heights. In any case, it is the responsibility of the construction site managers to ensure relevant fall-prevention measures are put in place to ensure the safety of their workmen.

When you get in contact with our enthusiastic team at FMS training, we’ll guide you through our available options to ensure that you walk away from our services fully certified and equipped to handle your future jobs safely. Give our team at FMS Training a call today, we look forward to hearing from you!
