If you are one of the Employers in Wexford, and your work involves height, this guide is for you. It sets out your duties and how a Working at Heights Course keeps your Wexford site safe and compliant.
Duties of Employers in Wexford
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 Wexford workplace that means you should:
- Supply suitable, inspected access equipment
- Provide a safe place and system of work at height
- Carry out and record risk assessments
- Provide information, instruction, training and supervision
Online certification for Wexford Employers
Because the Working at Heights Training is delivered online, Employers in Wexford and across Wexford 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
The practical fix is straightforward. 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 Wexford and the wider county.
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
Young and new workers are over-represented in fall statistics, and Employers in Wexford is no exception. Setting good habits from the very first day - never climbing on furniture, never overreaching, always inspecting equipment - is far easier than unlearning bad ones later. Early certification with a Working at Heights Course pays back for an entire career.
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 Wexford before it becomes an incident. That only happens when supervisors are trained too.
Frequently asked questions

More on staying safe at height
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 Wexford precisely because confidence drifts away from the rules over time, and a quick refresher resets it.
The cheapest control is always to avoid the work at height in the first place. For employers in Wexford, 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.
The most expensive mistake employers make with employers in Wexford 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.
