Training that goes beyond the tick-box

That only happens when supervisors are trained too.

More on staying safe at height
The rescue plan is the part most teams forget. If a worker doing work at height in Westmeath falls and is left hanging in a harness, suspension trauma can become life-threatening within minutes. Calling the emergency services is not a rescue plan; having the equipment, the trained people and the method to recover them quickly is. Our Working at Heights Training makes that planning routine.
The cheapest control is always to avoid the work at height in the first place. For work at height in Westmeath, that can mean long-handled tools, lowering the task to ground level, or designing the job so no one needs to climb. Where that is impossible, collective protection such as guardrails and platforms beats personal protection every time.
