WAHR 2005 Focused
Built for Cleaning and Facilities Management
One Working at Heights Course. Every cleaning and facilities management workplace.
Work at height risks in cleaning and facilities management environments are often underestimated, especially where teams work at speed, repeat the same access tasks, and use ladders, steps and platforms in changing conditions. Falls from height are consistently the leading cause of fatal injury to workers in Great Britain (HSE). Proper training reduces injuries, improves consistency, and supports safer daily operations.
The best performing teams don't just work faster. They plan every task at height, pick the right equipment, and check it before anyone leaves the ground.
This premium online course combines clear safety principles, the avoid, prevent, minimise hierarchy from the Work at Height Regulations 2005, and a modern learning flow. It is online theory and awareness training that supports WAHR 2005 compliance - practical, equipment-specific training such as MEWP operation, scaffold erection or harness use may still be legally required and is not replaced by this course.
