Work at Height Refresher: Hazard Management and Safe Practices
HAZARD MANAGEMENT REFRESHER
Refresh the decisions that keep fall-risk controls under review.
Revisit work at height from the first site inspection to task completion. Designed for experienced workers, this refresher focuses on recognising fall hazards, choosing and monitoring controls, using workplace systems and understanding rescue readiness.
- Experienced-worker refresher
- 8 learning modules + quiz
- Resources, infrastructure and construction
Who this course is for
Experienced workers in resources, infrastructure or construction who already have work-at-height skills and knowledge and want to review hazard management and safe-work practices.
About this learning resource
For experienced workers; practical competence and site-specific authorisation remain separate.
This refresher assumes existing work-at-height skills and knowledge. It does not replace initial competency-based training, practical assessment, licensing where applicable, or site-specific authorisation.
What you will learn
- Clarify the limits of refresher learning and the need for workplace authorisation.
- Recognise fall hazards and changing site conditions through systematic inspection.
- Review the risk-management process and the hierarchy of controls.
- Connect equipment checks, documentation and communication across the work task.
- Explain the purpose of emergency procedures, rescue planning and incident reporting.

Course questions
Do I need previous work-at-height knowledge?
Yes. The course is designed as a refresher for experienced workers with existing work-at-height skills and knowledge, rather than an introduction for beginners.
How is this different from Working at Heights - Refresher?
This course centres on site inspection, risk controls and monitoring a task from pre-start to completion. The separate Working at Heights - Refresher gives more detail to documentation, SWMS, PPE, fall-protection components and access systems.
Will the final declaration authorise me to work at height?
No. The online review and declaration are part of the learning package. They do not replace practical competence checks or workplace authorisation.
How do I access the online course?
Use the course’s registration or continue-learning option above. Existing work-at-height skills and knowledge are expected; online completion does not provide site-specific authorisation.
