A plain guide to working at heights training

What is working at heights training?

It's a safety programme that teaches workers how to carry out tasks at height safely and prevent falls of people and objects. Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities and serious injuries in Ireland — and most are entirely preventable with the right precautions. The training is essential for anyone whose work involves elevated positions, even below head height.

Who needs it?

It's relevant across many industries and roles wherever work happens above ground level — whether routinely or occasionally.

Construction workers
Roofers
Window cleaners
Maintenance engineers
Warehouse staff
Scaffolders

Who is responsible for the training?

In Ireland, the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 — Part 4: Work at Height — place a clear duty on employers to provide a safe workplace, suitable equipment and proper training. Employees, in turn, are expected to engage with the training and apply what they learn. Many jobseekers also complete the course before interviews to strengthen their CV.

How long is the certificate valid?

The Working at Heights certificate is valid for three years. After that, a refresher course renews it — keeping you current with the latest safety practices and legislation, and helping employers maintain compliance and reduce risk.

What other courses should you consider?

Workers who complete Working at Heights training often add Manual Handling, Abrasive Wheels and Workplace First Aid to build a safer working environment across multiple areas.

"Put the maintenance crew through before a roof job. The MEWP and ladder module was spot on, and the practical video step actually proves competence."
