You receive a Certificate of Completion from Safe Work Training (RTO 21604). This supports compliance with section 21(2)(e) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004, which requires employers to provide information, instruction, and training to employees. Refresher training is recommended every 3 years.
No. This is a Non-Accredited Height Safety Awareness Training course. It provides essential safety knowledge but does not result in a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment or a formal 'ticket' to work at heights.
No. This awareness course is designed for individuals who need to recognise and manage hazards around heights. To be permitted by most employers and principal contractors to actively work at heights (e.g., using harnesses or fall arrest systems), you must complete the nationally accredited unit RIIWHS204E – Work Safely at Heights.
You will receive a Certificate of Completion/Attendance detailing the topics covered, which serves as your record for OHS compliance and professional development.
It assists in meeting the employer's duty under the Victorian OHS Act 2004 and OHS Regulations 2017 to provide adequate information and instruction to workers regarding height-related hazards and safe work practices on site.
Awareness focuses on hazard identification, legal duties, and risk control principles (e.g., elimination, passive systems like guardrails). Accredited training is highly practical, focusing on the selection, pre-use inspection, donning, adjustment, and anchorage of personal fall arrest equipment (harnesses, lanyards).
Yes. The course includes a demonstration and overview of common equipment (e.g., guardrails, anchors, basic harness types) to enhance your awareness of controls. However, it does not include the intensive, hands-on fitting and practical use of fall arrest systems required for accredited training.
It covers falls from different levels, fragile roofing, incorrect use of ladders/scaffolding, working near edges, falling objects, and the importance of rescue planning and consultation.
This course is ideal for new employees, site visitors, supervisors, or labourers whose job is not to actively perform tasks at height, but who need a foundational understanding of the risks to consult, supervise, or work safely near height risks.
The Height Safety Awareness course typically runs for 3 hours for a focused, impactful session.
No. We supply all necessary demonstration equipment and training aids. If delivered on-site, we can incorporate observation and discussion of your existing safety systems (e.g., roof anchors, control measures) to make the session highly relevant.
Participants should wear their usual work uniform and closed-toe footwear for safety during the practical demonstration and site hazard review.
There is a short, scenario-based or written knowledge review to confirm key concepts—such as the hierarchy of controls—have been understood. The focus is on learning and awareness, not high-stakes testing.
