Delivery

• This one-day, 8 hours per day, face-to-face course combines theory and practical training delivered by experienced trainers with current industry knowledge. Training is delivered in two sections — Theory training: covering identifying work requirements, assessing the work environment for hazards, risk control measures, selecting/inspecting/using height-related equipment, WHS responsibilities, safe work methods, communication, emergency procedures and documentation. Practical training with demonstration: applying knowledge in realistic work-at-height scenarios, focusing on the safe use of equipment, height-related safety procedures and performing required tasks under supervision. The course uses a blended learning approach including face-to-face exercises and workplace simulations.
  Direct observation of practical skills
• Verbal questioning to assess underpinning knowledge
• Written responses to theory-based questions
• Portfolio evidence, including completed workplace documents or work samples
• A combination of the above methods
