Working At Heights Course

Unit Standard 229998 Explain and perform fall arrest techniques when working at height

Safety training is not just for companies who want their staff to be compliant. In many cases private learners what to become qualified in working at heights with a certificate to enhance their CV. Often times contractors need the certification for themselves.

FTS Safety's public classes are an easy opportunity to get a working at height certificate in a single day.

Our venue has plenty of safe parking behind a gate and with a security guard on duty.

Public classes are more interactive. 

You have candidates from various companies and industries all joining together so the questions are interesting and you get additional insight into the risks in different industries.

The qualifying learner is capable of:

• Explaining the use and limitations of a limited range of fall arrest equipment and fall arrest plan.
• Inspecting, assembling and storing fall arrest equipment.
• Selecting suitable anchor points.
• Using fall arrest systems with a double lanyard.
• Using pre-installed vertical and horizontal life-lines.

You can attend the training without a medical certificate, but you may not work at height until you have one.
