Working at Heights Training Overview
As per the Occupational Health & Safety Act and Regulations in Ontario, anyone working at heights of 3m/10 feet requires certification in Working at Heights by a CPO-approved training provider also recognised under the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLTSD).
PHASCORP offers 1 day of in-person (theory and practical) Working at Heights training. Participants engage in group activities and assessments while learning from a live facilitator. Course materials are distributed on the day of the session, and through group projects and discussions, participants gain knowledge from other participants’ real workplace experience.
To ensure students can effectively check and operate the necessary fall protection equipment, this course includes a hands-on demonstration of the tools and processes. For on-site training at your location on a date of your choice, contact us for a quote.
