Course Name

Work Safely at Heights

Course Outline

This course will provide you the skills and knowledge of working at a height and understanding the fundamentals of fall arrest and fall restraint in either a construction or mining environment.

Under the legislation the height safety courses are competency based.

This course will provide you the basics for your career to work and to install a method to prevent a fall..

For people conducting refresher courses (every 2 years) this maybe about learning something new and remembering previous skills for future reference on the work site.

For both levels of experience, we blend theory applications with practical exercises to form competency.  All RII competency based courses are designed to allow all levels of experience in one course.

Language, Literacy and Numeracy

Under the legislation, we are able to provide you two options.

The first option; the student can effectively communicate both verbally and written and is able to competently read and write while under instruction throughout the course unassisted.

The second option requires direct assistance for the student, where writing is somewhat difficult.  Therefore in regards to written assessments we are able to conduct a one-on-one verbal assessment with the student.

This process involves the assessor verbally asking the assessment questions in a one on one scenario.

  • This is also not a spelling test.
