Working at Heights Leicester

Work at Height Requirements in Leicester

Leicester has grown into one of the East Midlands' largest cities, with a strong industrial base and tens of thousands of skilled workers. Under the Work at Height Regulations 2005 (WAHR), the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requires all employers to make sure that work at height is properly planned, supervised and carried out by competent people - and appropriate Working at Heights Training is a core part of that duty.

This legal duty applies to all businesses in the LE postcode area, from huge distribution centres and manufacturing plants to small maintenance firms, and from construction contractors to retail stockrooms across the business parks.

Warehousing and Distribution

Leicester sits at the centre of the UK's logistics golden triangle, and its distribution parks rely on racking, mezzanine floors and MEWPs every shift. These tasks carry real risks - falls from racking, unprotected mezzanine edges and dropped stock - so workers need solid Working at Heights knowledge to support safe practice.

Our online course lets warehouse staff complete the underpinning theory around shift patterns, without taking time off for classroom sessions during busy periods.

Falls from height are among the most serious workplace injuries in logistics and construction. Our accessible online training helps Leicester workers recognise the hazards and get certified quickly and conveniently.

Construction and Roofing

Construction crews and roofing teams across Leicester work from scaffolds, towers and ladders to build, repair and maintain the city's properties. Site workers, roofers and maintenance staff all need Working at Heights Training to understand equipment selection, edge protection and the controls that keep them safe.

Our course covers the avoid / prevent / minimise hierarchy, ladder inspection, fragile surfaces and the planning and rescue arrangements that protect workers in these settings.

Manufacturing and Maintenance

Leicester's industrial estates and business parks host numerous manufacturing and maintenance operations. From the Meridian Business Park to the Troon Way Industrial Estate, workers climb for plant access, lighting, gutters and inspections daily as part of production and upkeep.

Production staff and maintenance teams all benefit from comprehensive work at height training that reduces injury risk and improves workplace safety.
