Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of workplace injuries and fatalities across Ireland and the UK. Whether you're working on scaffolding, rooftops, ladders, or elevated platforms, height safety isn’t optional — it’s a legal and life-saving requirement.
With Ireland Safety Training, you can now complete Work at Height Safety Training fully online, receive your certificate instantly, and stay compliant — all without disrupting your schedule.
Work at Height Training teaches workers how to:
Identify and assess height-related hazards
Select and use the correct safety equipment
Apply safe access procedures (e.g., ladders, scaffolds)
Understand fall arrest and fall restraint systems

Employers are required to provide training under:
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 (UK)
Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 (Ireland)
Failing to provide proper height safety training can lead to:
Injuries and fatalities
HSA or HSE penalties
Insurance issues
Site shutdowns or legal claims
