Working at Height Training Course, Ladder Safety, Editable Slides, Handbook (Digital Download)
WORKING AT HEIGHT — The 20% You Actually Need to Know
A complete, ready-to-teach training course built around HSE's Avoid, Prevent, Minimise framework — the hierarchy that sits behind every falls-from-height decision your business needs to make. Written in plain English, generic across industries, and grounded in a real HSE prosecution so the lesson actually sticks.
This isn't construction-only content. It covers office, retail, warehouse, facilities, horticulture, hospitality and trades work alike — anywhere someone might need a stepladder, not just a scaffold.
