Working at Height and Rescue Reassessment Training
Renew your working at height and rescue qualifications by demonstrating continued competency in climbing protected and unprotected structures, using fall protection equipment and carrying out a rescue of a suspended colleague. This predominantly practical reassessment refreshes knowledge through hands-on exercises rather than formal classroom instruction. On successful completion, delegates receive a renewed certificate of competency.
