Falls Prevention – Working at Heights

ETD’s Working at Heights Course will help you stay safe while working above ground level. 

Falls from height are the biggest cause of workplace deaths – and they cause thousands of injuries, too. To put this into perspective, 2019 saw 34 workplace fatalities from working at heights, plus 4,654 major injuries. But we could easily avoid most of these fatalities and injuries if we took the right training. Whether you work on platforms, ladders, scaffolds, or even alongside deep trenches, it’s vital that you know how to protect yourself. 

ETD’s Falls Prevention Course will help you reduce the risk of falls when working at height. You’ll learn how to assess risks and take safety measures to protect yourself and others.
