Modules covering everything you need to work safely at height and comply with Irish HSA regulations.
The Work at Height requirements of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, HSA guidance, and the duties of employers and employees.
Why falls from height remain a leading cause of serious injury in Ireland, including falls from low heights, falling objects, and fragile surfaces.
The hierarchy of control — avoid, prevent, minimise — plus risk assessment, safe systems of work, and edge protection.
Ladder selection and inspection, scaffolds, mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs), harness fitting and fall-arrest systems.
This course is built around the legislation that governs work at height in Irish workplaces.
Places a general duty on employers to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare of employees — including the prevention of risk from work at height.
Part 4 specifically governs work at height. Employers must avoid work at height where reasonably practicable, prevent falls where it can't be avoided, and minimise the distance and consequences of any fall.
Irish law requires risks to be controlled in order: avoid working at height, use equipment to prevent falls, then minimise the consequences — the framework taught throughout this course.
The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) publishes work-at-height guidance, and this certification meets the training requirements for Safe-T-Card and CSCS applications.
