Working at Heights Course Ireland

Working at Heights means any work carried out in a place where, without precautions, a person could fall a distance liable to cause injury. In practice this covers work on ladders, scaffolds, MEWPs (cherry pickers and scissor lifts), roofs, lofts, racking, platforms and near unprotected edges or openings. Under Irish and EU health and safety law, employers must provide suitable Working at Heights Training to every employee exposed to a risk of falling.

A recognised Working at Heights Course teaches the hierarchy of control, safe ladder and scaffold use, MEWP and harness awareness, fall prevention, risk assessment and emergency rescue planning. Completing accredited Working at Heights Training and holding a Working at Heights Certificate helps protect workers from falls from height and keeps employers compliant with HSA guidance and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, Part 4.

The key principles of Working at Heights follow the Irish hierarchy of control: first avoid work at height where possible, then prevent falls using collective protection such as guardrails, scaffolds and MEWPs, then minimise the distance and consequences of a fall using nets or airbags, and finally use personal fall protection such as a harness, lanyard and secure anchor points.

Other core principles taught in our Working at Heights Course include completing a hazard assessment before you start, choosing the right access equipment for the task, using ladders only for short-duration low-risk work, inspecting all equipment before every use, maintaining three points of contact, never over-reaching, and making sure a rescue plan is in place before work begins. Our Working at Heights Training at Irish Working at Heights covers all of these principles with clear video demonstrations and real workplace examples.
