Working at Heights Training
What’s Should
you Know ?
Receiving working at heights
training is crucial for safety
reasons when you're in the
construction and mining
industries and it's often a
requirement of employers for
liability, insurance, and safety
reasons.
Current regulations define
working from heights to
include any height where a fall
can cause injury. This can
even be working while
standing on the top of furniture or a low
ladder. Some of the most common causes of accidents are:
falling parts and materials, floor conditions, worker movement, hand
tools and machinery. Implementing working at heights training is a way
for companies to keep these types of accidents to a bare minimum.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration says that falls are the main cause of fatalities in the
construction industry. OSHA has set standards for the training that employees must take when they are
working at heights. Employees like technicians, utility workers and linemen are more prone to these
hazards than other workers, and many might be fatal for them. Therefore they especially need the skills
and knowledge that's available from this training.
