About this learning resource

A knowledge refresher, not initial practical training or verification of competence.

Online refresher learning does not replace initial practical training, practical assessment, verification of competence or site-specific authorisation.

Course questions

How does this differ from the hazard-management refresher?

This course gives more space to technical and safety information, SWMS, PPE, fall-protection components and access systems. The separate hazard-management refresher follows a work task from site inspection through controls, monitoring and rescue readiness.

Is this suitable as my only training for work at heights?

No. It is a refresher resource. Initial practical training, assessment and any workplace verification or authorisation are separate.

Which equipment topics are in the outline?

The course covers PPE, fall-protection systems, ladders, platforms and scaffolds, including selection, inspection and manufacturer information.

How do I access the online course?

Use the course’s registration or continue-learning option above. This is an online knowledge refresher; practical assessment and workplace authorisation remain separate.
