Working at Height Training, Page 5 Reviews

No summary provided

A detailed course but there is a lot in it that is not so relevant for Lucy staff - scaffolding, mobile platforms, cherry pickers? Would be better to have something shorter and more relevant for people like us who don't work in the building trade....

I liked the fact you could watch the videos and also read the transcript. Also at the end of the course if needed you could go back and look over anything that you weren't sure of before taking the end of course test.

Useful and informative. Choosing equipment section not relevant for primary school staff who will never be required to select from the range of equipment described in the training - ie (cherry picker, platform steps) One size does not fit all and this course would be better for workplaces such as ours without this section.

Again the same course , Surely passing your CScs and then your iPaf + covers this

The course appears to be aimed at people who will use access equipment to work at height but the language, speed of delivery and course content is more appropriate for people who need an awareness of work at height but have no direct involvement in planning the work. For operators working at height, this course gives the impression that the employer will know what they are doing and will provide safe equipment / work areas automatically. What would be useful is a few tips on what questions to ask so that the employee can make a balanced judgement about the competence of the employer's agent when it comes to planning work at height. Describing the 3 basic principles of the work at height regs would also be useful i.e. Avoid (and give examples of long reach systems); Prevent falls (and describe how this can be done e.g. handrails / fall restraint); Reduce the likelihood of injury if a fall cannot be prevented (i.e. crash mats / covering protruding hazards).

Decent course, a mixture of some good information mixed in with the absolute obvious .... "You can't fall from a height if you are not up there to begin with" ..... get away!!! There is the usual rules and regulations that we see so many times on these courses, but there are some useful tips to. Certainly not the worse course I've attended.

This course does not really fall into my day to day work. I work in a primary school and will never use a cherry picker or scaffolding. The most I would use is a ladder to put up a display.
