If you are one of the Employers in Naas, Kildare, and your work involves height, this guide is for you. It sets out your duties and how a Working at Heights Course keeps your Naas site safe and compliant.
Duties of Employers in Naas
You carry the legal duty under the SHWW Act 2005. A Working at Heights Certificate for every worker is your cleanest evidence of compliance. In a Naas workplace that means you should:
- Keep training and inspection records for HSA inspection
- Carry out and record risk assessments
- Provide information, instruction, training and supervision
- Supply suitable, inspected access equipment
Online certification for Naas Employers
Because the Working at Heights Training is delivered online, Employers in Naas and across Kildare can certify without travel or downtime, and download a recognised Working at Heights Certificate the same day.
The Working at Heights Course makes compliance simple
You do not need a classroom or a lost work day to fix this. Our Working at Heights Course is delivered fully online, takes about 45 minutes, and issues a downloadable certificate the same day. It is CPD certified, RoSPA approved and QQI aligned, and it is written specifically for Employers in Naas and across Kildare.
The Working at Heights Training covers the avoid-prevent-minimise hierarchy, ladder and stepladder safety, MEWPs and scaffolds, harnesses and anchor points, and how to carry out a proper risk assessment. Every learner finishes with a recognised Working at Heights Certificate that stands up to HSA inspection and supports your insurance position.
Training that goes beyond the tick-box
Competence is not the same as experience. A worker who has used ladders for twenty years can still carry twenty years of bad habits. Refresher training matters for Employers in Naas precisely because confidence drifts away from the rules over time, and a quick refresher resets it.
Insurers now ask directly whether your team holds current Working at Heights certification before they price a policy or settle a claim involving Employers in Naas. A worker hurt at height with no Working at Heights Certificate turns a defensible incident into an indefensible one, and that follows your premium for years.

More on staying safe at height
The most expensive mistake employers make with employers in Naas is treating training as a box-ticking exercise. The Health and Safety Authority does not just want a certificate on file; it wants evidence that the worker understood the avoid-prevent-minimise hierarchy and applied it on the day. A genuine Working at Heights Course builds that understanding, which is exactly why our online programme uses real scenarios rather than slides.
Weather turns a routine job into a dangerous one faster than anything else in Ireland. Wind, rain, frost and poor light all raise the risk of employers in Naas, and the right call is often to stop and reassess rather than push on. Knowing where that line sits is part of being properly trained.
Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of serious and fatal workplace injury in Ireland, year after year. The pattern is depressingly consistent for employers in Naas: a short task, a familiar setting, a ladder or platform that seemed fine, and a single moment of overreach. Proper training breaks that pattern by making the safe choice the automatic one.
