Why’s It Important?
The Working at Height Regulations 2005 (WAHR) came into force on the 6th April 2005. The regulations apply to all work where there is a risk of a fall which is liable to cause injury and place-specific duties on employers, self-employed and any person that controls the work of others.
Falls from height are one of the biggest causes of workplace fatalities and major injuries. Common causes are falls from ladders and through fragile roofs. The purpose of WAHR is to prevent death and injury from a fall from height.

I have been working with Envesca for many years. All of the courses that I have attended have been brilliant. All the trainers are polite and friendly and very informative. I would not want to go anywhere else!

I recently completed the Highfield Level 3 Health and Safety eLearning course. It was a very comprehensive course that I completed in my own time online. It was easy to use with interactive questions to keep it interesting as you work through the categories. I would highly recommend it if you are busy as you can stop at any point and save your progress.
