In the UK, falls from height account for over a quarter of all workplace fatalities, making it the leading cause of death at work. Add to this 43,000 non-fatal accidental injuries and you begin to get an idea of just how dangerous working at height can be.
This course teaches you of the risks for the employer/employee surrounding falls from height, one of the most widely recognised reasons for injury at work. They can bring about genuine wounds and fatalities to individuals at work and others passing by, including those doing development and upkeep just as individuals from general society. In this way, it's significant that anybody doing work at height exercises sees how to function securely and capably and as per the law.
