What are the objectives of the course
Putting people to work at height on a roof top can be company minefield, as the implications can have serious consequences if not handled appropriately.

Focusing on the level of access required the safety precautions specific to the access available. Anchorage considerations and appropriate equipment selection with regard to suitability for job and work to be carried out on roofs.
This rooftop course covers key subject areas in a logical order from primary considerations through to the correct and safe implementation of chosen equipment and controls for job applications and workers safety.
We utilise strong visual presentations, equipment demonstrations and group exercises and activities in order to fully ensure we engage all the delegates in the training course and maximise information retention. Where possible we included direct association of information for the specific job and clients requirements, which allows us to provide helpful, accurate and applicable safety knowledge and training for their job and scope of activity.

Additional Bolt-on (Ladder) course
We would recommend that candidates required to use 'non fixed' commercial ladders and step ladders to again access to the workplace or as a working platform, should complete our day ladder course, covering everything specific to safely and competently using ladders in a workplace, required to be licensed to operate legally.
The ladder course would ideally be run back to back with the rooftop course on the same day or the next day to maximise the combined associated benefit. Additionally the course would be slightly focused on height safety equipment combined with ladders for use to work and gain access on roofs. This is slightly different from a standard ladder course, as we know by booking them together what your intended use is for with ladders.
For more information on the standard ladder course which this bolt on course is based around - please see our ladder and step ladder safety course further information.
