(CWAH) Working at Height Safety & Rescue

Description

This course is aimed at personnel who are required to work at height.

Industry-wide in the UK falls from height continue to be a worrying accident statistic causing around 35 fatalities per year.

Alongside our trusted partner MSA, we are committed to playing our part in the reduction of this figure. We have been given full backing and support in developing a new City & Guilds endorsed Working at Height and Rescue 2-day training course.

The aim of the course is to up the standard of work at height education, giving a trusted and recognised qualification to anyone who needs to work at height. This course has been developed with our partner MSA and is endorsed as a recognised training programme by City & Guilds.

Candidates will receive a City & Guilds certificate on successful completion of this course.

This course can be delivered in our Training Academy in Sheffield in a purpose-built training facility ensuring a safe, real-life training environment, or on your site (subject to survey to confirm suitability).
