Why do I need a Working at Heights ticket?
Anyone performing work where a fall could occur must complete Working Safely at Heights training. This includes situations such as:
- Working on roofs, platforms, scaffolds or ladders
- Using elevated work platforms
- Working near trenches, pits or changing ground levels
- Performing maintenance or inspections at height
- Occupations where a fall risk exists, even briefly
