Working At Height Awareness


Aim of the course

This course has been designed to do exactly that, teach the delegate how to perform a task using the correct equipment and using it in the correct manner. Because Working at Height is considered as any work on, below or above ground level, it is important that this course enables the delegates to be able to perform their tasks in hand safely.
