A Working at Heights course is a safety training program designed to teach workers how to safely perform tasks at elevation, reducing the risk of falls. The Working at Heights Course is RIIWHS204E Work safely at heights includes how to:

Identify work requirements
Identify work procedures and instructions
Access and install equipment
Perform work at heights
Clean up the work area

Who needs the Working at Heights Course

If you are someone whose job is to work more than 2 meters above the ground, or on an elevated surface where there is a risk of falling, or need the support of a ladder, rope or elevated surface, then you need to take RIIWHS204E Work safely at heights course to ensure safe and efficient work. This course is designed to provide you with essential skills and knowledge on how to work safely at heights or in high-risk environments where there is a risk of falling from more than 2 metres height.

Australia Working at Heights standards

In Australia, working at heights is one of the main causes of injuries and fatalities in building and construction sites. To minimise this incident, height safety equipment and working at heights practices are governed by Safe Work Australia, which sets the following Australian standards & industry codes:

AS 1657:2018 Fixed Platforms, Walkways, Stairways and Ladders
AS/NZS 1891.1 Part 1: Safety Belts and Harnesses
AS/NZS 1891.2 Part 2: Horizontal Lifeline and Rail Systems
AS/NZS 1891:3 Part 3: Fall Arrest Devices
AS/NZS 1981.4 Part 4: Selection, Use and Maintenance of Industrial Fall Arrest Systems and Devices
AS/NZS 4488 Industrial Rope Access Systems
AS2625 Safe Working in a Confined Space
AS/NZS 5532 Manufacturers’ requirements for single-point anchors

SafeWork Australia has developed Code of Practice / Industry Codes to provide practical guidance on how to meet the standards required under the Workplace Health and Safety Act and Regulations; however, the Commonwealth, States and Territories are responsible for implementing, regulating and enforcing Workplace Health and Safety laws in their jurisdiction. Therein lies a notable distinction between State or National (Government) based Codes of Practice and industry-based Codes.

In specific reference to height safety-related matters, the WAHA has developed Industry Codes which seek to draw together details of regulations, codes of practice and manufacturer recommendations to provide guidance on the correct, safe installation, inspection and recertification of fall protection systems. These are intended to enhance, not replace, the codes of practice and provide all stakeholders with industry-best-practice methods for height safety systems. These codes are an example of industry-based codes vs State or national-based Codes of Practice.

Hazards of Working at Heights in Construction

While performing work at heights, workers may face the following common hazards:

Falls from heights
Falling objects and tools
Faulty Ladders
Improper Ladder Positioning
Overloaded Ladders
Improper use of equipment (For example, improperly fitted harnesses can lead to accidents)
Fragile surfaces that may not support weights
Weather-related hazards like
Unprotected edges and unguarded openings
Sharp edges on structures can cause cuts or puncture wounds
Vehicles near the worksite can cause accidents due to distraction
Proximity of utility services
Proximity to large water bodies

When do you Need a Working at Heights Ticket

You need a working at heights ticket when your job requires you to work more than 2 meters above the ground, or on an elevated surface where there is a risk of falling, or need the support of a ladder, rope or elevated surface, then you will require the working at heights ticket which is successful completion of RIIWHS204E Work safely at heights.

How Long is Working at Heights Course

To complete RIIWHS204E Work safely at heights at DLI Training, the course duration is 1 day.

Does the Working at Heights Ticket Expire?

No! In Australia, there is often confusion around working at heights expiry, but Working at Heights tickets do not actually ‘expire’. However, it is suggested by the Working at Heights Association (WAHA) and industry that the working at heights training be renewed every 2 years to stay updated about safety protocols. You can do DLI Training’s RIIWHS204E Work safely at heights to keep you up to date with the current changes in the industry.

What is a Confined Space

A confined space is any enclosed or partially enclosed space (vessel, pit, tank, chamber container) which poses a dangerous area due to unsafe oxygen levels.

The space is large enough for a person to enter, but it is not meant for people to stay in for a long time. Working in confined spaces can be dangerous because of problems like limited exits, poor air quality and other unsafe conditions. Special safety rules are needed to keep workers safe.

Due to factors such as restricted access, poor ventilation and the presence of hazardous conditions, working in confined spaces requires specialised safety protocols to protect workers.

Common Confined Space Examples

Here are some common examples of confined spaces found in workplaces:

Pipes
Access Tunnels
Manholes
Utility Vaults
Pits
Cold Storage Areas
Vessel
Tank
Chamber container

Common Confined Space Hazards

The common confined space hazards a worker must be cautious about are:

Lack of Oxygen
Toxic Gases and Fumes
Noise
Physical Hazard (Sharp edges and exposed metals, moving machinery, low ceilings etc.)
Fire and Explosion
Engulfment

Confined Space Ticket Training

Confined Space ticket training provides workers with the knowledge and skills to safely enter, work and exit confined spaces safely which includes. Confined space training courses includes identifying confined spaces, identifying hazards, and the proper personal protective equipment needed. Every worker who works in a confined space must be fully trained on how to enter a confined space, identify and recognise hazards and evaluate and control procedures for identified potential hazards.

Confined Space Code of Practice

The Confined Space Code of Practice is an approved code of practice under Section 274 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011. It provides practical guidance on managing health and safety risks when working in confined spaces and is applicable in all workplaces that carry out confined space work.

It is recommended to follow the guidelines set out in the confined space code of practice, to ensure the safety of workers who are required to enter confined spaces and reduce the likelihood of accidents or fatalities.
