Training that goes beyond the tick-box
The cheapest control is always to avoid the work at height in the first place. For Employers in Ashbourne, 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.
Supervision is the quiet control that holds everything together. Even a perfectly trained worker drifts under time pressure, so someone on site needs the knowledge and the authority to stop unsafe work involving Employers in Ashbourne before it becomes an incident. That only happens when supervisors are trained too.
