Working Safely at Height and Self Evacuation
Breaks for refreshments are included in this overall total
This training programme covers all the content in our 1 day Working Safely at Height Training Course, with an additional day of training designed for individuals operating alone at height. The practical element of the second day includes setting up lines and using descenders for emergency escape, equipping participants with the skills required for self evacuation during emergency situations.
This course is only available from MRS Training & Rescue, taught exclusively at our training centres across the UK – providing hands-on training in simulated work at height situations. It is available as a City & Guilds Assured Product Certificate for an additional fee of £30.
Due to the nature of the training course and the emphasis placed on communication, there is only a provision for the assessments to be undertaken in English. Therefore, candidates for this type of training must be able to understand and speak the English language.
