This course provides schools with the knowledge and practical understanding needed to plan, supervise, and carry out work at height safely and in compliance with the law.
Participants will learn how to assess risks, select suitable equipment, and ensure that staff have the right level of competency for each task. The course also highlights when work should be avoided, redesigned, or completed by trained contractors. By promoting a proactive and consistent approach, it helps schools reduce accidents and create a safer working environment.
