Official Course Overview

Working at Height Course Written Line by Line Against Irish Law

Falls from height are still among the leading causes of workplace deaths and serious injuries in Ireland, above all in construction, agriculture and maintenance. A fall injures the person working at height and often anyone below, and in nearly every case it was preventable. This Working at Height Course is written line by line against that law, so the certificate you download at the end stands up in a real inspection instead of just looking good in a folder.

We are the official provider Irish employers come back to for work at height, and it shows in how the course is built. Every control measure is filmed and illustrated, so you see a ladder, a podium and a tower scaffold set up correctly rather than reading about it.

Built on
  • Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005
  • General Application Regulations 2007, Part 4
  • Construction Regulations 2013

The three rules that shape your training

  1. Regulations 96 to 106

    Height work has to be planned and controlled

    Work at height must be properly organised, supervised and carried out with suitable equipment. Where the work happens on a construction site, the Construction Regulations 2013 apply on top.

  2. Section 13

    You have to use the training you are given

    Once trained, part of the duty is yours. You have to use the access equipment as intended, check it before you climb, and not put yourself or anyone below at risk.

  3. Regulation 101

    Equipment has to be inspected and recorded

    Ladders, scaffolds and platforms need documented inspection. The course shows you exactly what to look for and what the record has to contain.

  1. Working at Heights legislation and duties in Ireland

    Foundations

    What Irish law expects from employers and employees under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the General Application Regulations 2007, and what you should expect from your employer before any work at height begins.

  2. Fall hazards and why falls happen

    Hazards

    The real causes of falls from height: fragile surfaces, unguarded edges, misused ladders and poor planning. You also see the consequences a fall has for the person, their colleagues and the business.

  3. The hierarchy of control: avoid, prevent, minimise

    Control measures

    How to decide whether work at height is necessary at all, and how to choose control measures that first prevent a fall and then reduce the harm if one does happen.

  4. Risk assessment for work at height

    Risk assessment

    How to assess any task above ground level step by step: the surface you work from, the equipment you use, the weather, the people involved and the plan you follow.

  5. Safe use of ladders, step ladders and tower scaffolds

    Equipment

    Checks before every climb, the correct leaning angle and secure fixing points, safe erection of tower scaffolds, and when a ladder is the right tool for the job and when it is not.

  6. Personal fall protection and emergency procedures

    Fall protection

    Fitting and checking harnesses, lanyards and anchor points, plus the rescue and emergency arrangements every workplace must have in place before anyone works at height. Finish this module and a short final exam unlocks your Working at Heights Certificate, ready to download straight away with a verification code employers can check.

Questions, Answered Plainly

Working at Height Course in Ireland, Answered Plainly

The questions workers and employers send us every week about the Working at Height Course, the certificate and what the HSA expects, answered without the sales talk.

What does the Working at Height Course actually cover?

Falls from height are still among the leading causes of workplace deaths and serious injuries in Ireland, above all in construction, agriculture and maintenance. A fall injures the person working at height and often anyone below, and in nearly every case it was preventable. The course takes that risk apart step by step, then shows you the controls that remove it. We are the official provider Irish employers come back to for work at height, and it shows in how the course is built. Every control measure is filmed and illustrated, so you see a ladder, a podium and a tower scaffold set up correctly rather than reading about it.

Is Working at Height Training a legal requirement in Ireland?

Regulations 96 to 106 is the short answer. Work at height must be properly organised, supervised and carried out with suitable equipment. Where the work happens on a construction site, the Construction Regulations 2013 apply on top. Our course is written directly against that wording, which is why it satisfies the duty rather than merely gesturing at it.

How much does the Working at Height Course cost?

The Working at Height Course is â‚Ŧ35.00 per person, and that is the full price. Team bookings get a volume discount applied automatically, with one invoice and one account for all your records.

Can I do the Working at Height Course online, on my phone?

Yes, the whole course is online and works on any phone, tablet or laptop. There is no classroom day and no fixed start time: register, log in and begin the Working at Height Course whenever it suits you, at home or on a break at work. Progress saves automatically as you go.

How long does the Working at Height Course take to complete?

About 3 minutes, and you do not have to do it in one sitting. Progress saves as you go, so you can stop after a lesson and pick it back up on another device. Your certificate is ready to download the moment you pass.

What certificate do I get, and when do I receive it?

You download your Working at Height Course certificate as a PDF the moment you pass the exam, day or night. It shows your name, the course, the date and a verification link, so an employer or inspector can confirm it in seconds. A copy stays in your account whenever you need to print it again.

How long is the certificate valid in Ireland?

Renewal is recommended every three years, or sooner if your role, equipment or site changes. We track the date for you and send a reminder before it lapses, so no certificate in your team expires without anyone noticing. The refresher is the same short online course, so staying compliant never costs a working day.

What happens if I fail the exam?

Nothing bad. You can retake the exam as many times as you need at no extra cost, and you can revisit any lesson before trying again. Most learners pass first time, because the questions test exactly what the course just taught.

Is the practical assessment included?

This course is assessed by examination rather than by a practical, because the competence it builds is judgement rather than technique. You get unlimited attempts at the exam, at no extra cost.

Can I book this course for my whole team?

Yes, and the platform is built for it. One company account covers every employee, shows you at a glance who has finished and who has not, stores every certificate in one place and gives you a single invoice for the lot. Group bookings get the volume discount applied automatically in your cart.

Will employers and inspectors accept the certificate?

They do. We are an official accredited provider and the certificate carries a verification link an inspector can check in seconds. It is accepted by employers in Ireland, the UK and across the EU, and behind it stand our accreditations: HSA Compliant, QQI Assessed, CPD and RoSPA Accredited.
