EUSR Working at Height & Rescue (CWAH)
This EUSR endorsed 2-day course is aimed at personnel who are required to work at height.
In recent years, the number of workplace injuries and fatalities from work at height has increased and we are committed to playing our part in the reduction of this figure.
The aim of the Working at Height & Rescue training course is to elevate the standard of work at height education. It provides a formal qualification to individuals who need to perform tasks at height or rescue others from height, ensuring that participants are well-equipped with the knowledge and skills required for safe work and emergency response in high-risk environments.
On completion, delegates receive an EUSR registration and photo ID card, recognised UK-wide across the energy and utilities sector.
