Official Course Overview

Working at Height Course Written Line by Line Against UK Law

Falls from height are still among the leading causes of workplace deaths and serious injuries in the UK, above all in construction, agriculture and maintenance. A fall injures the person working at height and often anyone below, and in nearly every case it was preventable. This Working at Height Course is written line by line against that law, so the certificate you download at the end stands up in a real inspection instead of just looking good in a folder.

We are the official provider UK employers come back to for work at height. Every control measure is filmed and illustrated, so you see a ladder, a podium and a tower scaffold set up correctly rather than reading about it.

Built on
  • Work at Height Regulations 2005
  • Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
  • PUWER 1998

The three rules that shape your training

  1. Regulations 4 to 6

    Height work has to be planned and controlled

    Work at height must be properly planned, appropriately supervised and carried out safely, using the hierarchy of avoid, prevent and then minimise the distance and consequences of a fall.

  2. Section 7

    You have to use the training you are given

    Once trained, part of the duty is yours. Use the access equipment as intended, check it before you climb, and do not put yourself or anyone below at risk.

  3. Regulation 12

    Equipment has to be inspected and recorded

    Work equipment for height needs documented inspection at the intervals the Regulations set. The course shows you what to look for and what the record must contain.

  1. The risks from working at height

    Foundations

    The real causes of falls from height: fragile surfaces, unguarded edges, misused ladders and poor planning. You learn to read a task before you climb, and what you should expect from your employer before any work at height begins.

  2. Work at Height Regulations 2005 duties

    UK law

    The legal responsibilities of employers, the self-employed and anyone who controls work at height, including planning, supervision and competence requirements, plus your own duties as an employee once you are trained.

  3. The hierarchy of control: avoid, prevent, minimise

    Hierarchy

    How to decide whether work at height is necessary at all, and how to choose control measures that first prevent a fall and then reduce the harm if one does happen. The order always runs avoid, then prevent, then minimise.

  4. Selecting work equipment for the task

    Equipment

    How to choose the right access equipment, from ladders and stepladders to tower scaffolds, MEWPs, safety nets and harnesses, and how to inspect each one for safety and suitability before anyone leaves the ground.

  5. Safe use of ladders and tower scaffolds

    Safe practice

    Pre-use checks, correct setup angles and tie-off points, safe erection of tower scaffolds, and how to judge when a ladder is the right tool for the job and when it is not.

  6. Personal fall protection and emergency procedures

    Fall protection

    Fitting and checking harnesses, lanyards and anchor points, plus the emergency and rescue arrangements every workplace must have in place before anyone works at height, including the danger of suspension trauma.

  7. Final assessment and your certificate

    Assessment

    Twenty multiple choice questions drawn from everything you have just covered. Pass and your Working at Heights Certificate is ready to download straight away, with a verification code employers can check.

Learning Outcomes

What you will be able to do after this course

Eight practical skills you take straight back to site, ready for your next HSE inspection or site audit.

  1. Explain the duties the Work at Height Regulations 2005 place on your employer and on you, and show an inspector how your work meets them.
  2. Apply the hierarchy of control to any task: avoid work at height where you can, prevent a fall where you cannot, and minimise the harm if one happens.
  3. Spot fall hazards before they hurt anyone: fragile surfaces, unguarded edges, poor ground conditions and equipment used beyond its limits.
  4. Choose the right access equipment for each job, from a stepladder to a tower scaffold or MEWP, and justify the choice on paper.
  5. Set up and use ladders and tower scaffolds correctly, with the right angles, tie-off points and pre-use checks every single time.
  6. Fit and check a harness, lanyard and anchor point properly, so personal fall protection actually protects when it matters.
  7. Inspect work equipment at the intervals the Regulations set and keep the written records an HSE inspector will ask to see.
  8. Plan the emergency and rescue arrangements for work at height, including how to respond fast to a fall and to suspension trauma.

Questions, Answered Plainly

Working at Height Course in the UK, Answered Plainly

The questions workers and employers send us every week about the Working at Height Course, the certificate and what the HSE expects, answered without the sales talk.

What does the Working at Height Course actually cover?

Falls from height are still among the leading causes of workplace deaths and serious injuries in the UK, above all in construction, agriculture and maintenance. A fall injures the person working at height and often anyone below, and in nearly every case it was preventable. The course takes that risk apart step by step, then shows you the controls that remove it. We are the official provider UK employers come back to for work at height. Every control measure is filmed and illustrated, so you see a ladder, a podium and a tower scaffold set up correctly rather than reading about it.

Is Working at Height Training a legal requirement in the UK?

Regulations 4 to 6 is the short answer. Work at height must be properly planned, appropriately supervised and carried out safely, using the hierarchy of avoid, prevent and then minimise the distance and consequences of a fall. Our course is written directly against that wording, which is why it satisfies the duty rather than merely gesturing at it.

How much does the Working at Height Course cost?

The Working at Height Course is ÂŖ19.97 per person, and that is the full price. Team bookings get a volume discount applied automatically, with one invoice and one account for all your records.

Can I do the Working at Height Course online, on my phone?

Yes, the whole course is online and works on any phone, tablet or laptop. There is no classroom day and no fixed start time: register, log in and begin the Working at Height Course whenever it suits you, at home or on a break at work. Progress saves automatically as you go.

How long does the Working at Height Course take to complete?

About 3 minutes, and you do not have to do it in one sitting. Progress saves as you go, so you can stop after a lesson and pick it back up on another device. Your certificate is ready to download the moment you pass.

What certificate do I get, and when do I receive it?

You download your Working at Height Course certificate as a PDF the moment you pass the exam, day or night. It shows your name, the course, the date and a verification link, so an employer or inspector can confirm it in seconds. A copy stays in your account whenever you need to print it again.

How long is the certificate valid in the UK?

Renewal is recommended every three years, or sooner if your role, equipment or site changes. We track the date for you and send a reminder before it lapses, so no certificate in your team expires without anyone noticing. The refresher is the same short online course, so staying compliant never costs a working day.

What happens if I fail the exam?

Nothing bad. You can retake the exam as many times as you need at no extra cost, and you can revisit any lesson before trying again. Most learners pass first time, because the questions test exactly what the course just taught.

Is the practical assessment included?

This course is assessed by examination rather than by a practical, because the competence it builds is judgement rather than technique. You get unlimited attempts at the exam, at no extra cost.

Can I book this course for my whole team?

Yes, and the platform is built for it. One company account covers every employee, shows you at a glance who has finished and who has not, stores every certificate in one place and gives you a single invoice for the lot. Group bookings get the volume discount applied automatically at checkout.

Will employers and inspectors accept the certificate?

They do. We are an official accredited provider and the certificate carries a verification link an inspector can check in seconds. It is accepted by employers across the UK and the EU, and behind it stand our accreditations: HSE Aligned, IOSH Approved Content, CPD and RoSPA Accredited.
