Working at height can be dangerous, especially at sea. Every year sees deaths that could have been prevented. Deadly mistakes can happen at any stage of the process; when you are planning what kind of access equipment to use, or designing and erecting a scaffold, not just when it is being used.

Anyone who is involved with height access equipment has a responsibility for their own safety and that of the people around them. In this program, which is aimed at seafarers of any level of experience or seniority, we highlight safety at every stage of the process, and set out some useful guidelines.

The program is packed with useful information, and is modular in form, so you need only concentrate on sections relevant to you.

Modules in the program include:

• Introduction - working at height
• Assessing the risks
• Scaffolds and tower systems
• Safe working on scaffolding
• Using ladders
• Using mobile platforms
• Closing module - includes sections on what not to do, personal protective equipment, etc
