Description
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) ” Working at height remains one of the biggest causes of fatalities and major injuries. Common cases include falls from ladders and through fragile surfaces. ‘Work at height’ means work in any place where, if there were no precautions in place, a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury (for example a fall through a fragile roof).”
In 2013/14 falls from height were the most common cause of fatalities, accounting for nearly three in ten (29%) fatal injuries to workers (RIDDOR – Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences ).

Thought the course was an excellent alternative to taking people out of the business for extended periods of time to be trained. Unfortunately it is a presentation that doesnt have any narrative and I found the answers to some of the questions a little strange to say the least. That said will be putting my team through it in the near future.

The course was simple to purchase, and the content was perfect for what we do day to day. The only thing i would like to see in the future would be a verbal training as you go through the screens. As learning is better when both written and verbal instruction is given. This would then cater for employees with learning difficulties i.e. such as reading.
