About the Working at Height Training
Working at height means working anywhere you could fall and injure yourself — whether it’s on a ladder, scaffolding, roof, or platform. It comes with serious risks, and even a short fall can lead to significant injury.
This Level 2 training course helps you assess risks, use equipment correctly, and follow safe practices to minimise hazards and stay compliant with the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
On completion, you’ll receive a certificate proving your competence to work at height.

✓Helps reduce accidents, injuries, and fatalities.
✓Ensures compliance with legal regulations.
✓Informs both employers and employees of their respective responsibilities.
✓Promotes a safety-first culture that benefits everyone on site.

What Does the Working at Height Course Cover?
This Level 2 Working at Height course is divided into three modules. It covers the key risks, legal responsibilities, and safe working practices you need to follow when working at height.
You’ll learn how to assess and control risks, select and use equipment safely, and follow emergency procedures.
Course Module Overview
Module 1: The Risks from Working at Height
Understand what working at height involves, the associated risks, legal duties, and how to assess and plan for safe working conditions.
Module 2: Avoiding, Preventing, and Minimising Risks
Learn the hierarchy of control — avoid, prevent, minimise — and how to apply it when using ladders, scaffolds, platforms, and protective equipment.
Module 3: Selecting Equipment and Emergency Procedures
Learn how to select and inspect suitable equipment, effectively report hazards, and follow proper emergency procedures.
What You’ll Learn
Understand your responsibilities for working safely at heights.
Recognise common hazards and how to control them.
Know how to select, inspect, and use equipment correctly.
Be able to follow emergency procedures if needed.
Working at Height Assessment
After completing the course, you’ll take a 20-question multiple-choice test; scoring 70 % or above earns a pass.
💡 Note: If you don’t pass on your first attempt, don’t worry — you can retake the test as many times as you need at no extra cost.
Working at Height Certification
Once you complete the course and pass the assessment, you’ll receive an HSE-compliant certificate to download and share. This certificate demonstrates your competence in working at height and shows that you’ve met recognised training standards.
While the certificate does not have a fixed expiry date, it is recommended that you renew your training every three years to keep your knowledge current and maintain best practices.
Recommended Renewal
Your Working at Height certificate is valid for three years; retaking the training ensures both legal compliance and up-to-date safety skills.

Legal Requirements: Working at Height Regulations
When working at height, there are two key pieces of UK legislation you must follow:
Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
This law places a general duty on employers and anyone responsible for a workplace to ensure it is safe. This includes maintaining equipment properly, providing a stable working surface, ensuring secure access, and giving clear instructions for all tasks carried out at height.
Work at Height Regulations 2005
These regulations focus specifically on preventing falls from height. They require all work at height to be properly planned and supervised, with the right equipment in place. Everyone involved must understand the risks and how to control them effectively.
🎯 Completing this training helps you meet your legal obligations under both the 1974 Act and the 2005 Regulations while promoting a safer working environment for everyone.
