OVERVIEW

About this course.

What this course covers. This course explains how the risk of falls from height is managed on Australian construction sites. It sets out why falls matter so much, the shape of the legal duty to manage that risk so far as is reasonably practicable, the correct order of the hierarchy of fall control, the practical management of common height-work scenarios (roof work, scaffolds, ladders, elevating work platforms and unprotected edges and voids), the critical role of emergency and rescue planning where fall arrest is used, and the ongoing obligations around inspection, maintenance, competency and consultation. Throughout, it points you to the primary Australian sources and reminds you that the detail differs by jurisdiction.

Who it is for. Builders, carpenters, roofers, scaffolders, riggers, dogging and crane crews, formworkers, painters, electricians, plumbers, solar installers, site supervisors, leading hands, project managers and health and safety representatives — anyone who works at height, plans work at height, or is responsible for others who do. It suits both new starters wanting the fundamentals and experienced hands wanting a structured refresher for their CPD record.
