Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for those who have responsibility for overseeing the work of operatives on site ensuring that work is properly planned and organised. It establishes that those involved in carrying out the work are competent and properly trained, and that towers are correctly inspected and maintained. It would be envisaged that you will have a good working knowledge of the Work at Height Regulations and Health & Safety at Work Act 1974.
