Falls from height are one of the most common causes of serious workplace injury in South Africa, and anyone working above ground level — a roofer at Mbombela’s growing residential estates, a scaffolder, a maintenance worker on a platform — needs to know how to assess fall risk and work safely before they ever clip in a harness.

The Foundation for Any Height Work — What This Course Covers in Practice
Working safely above ground level is a foundational skill that supports many other trades — roofing, scaffolding, maintenance, construction — and getting the basics right matters every single time, not just occasionally. This course covers recognising fall risk, correct harness and lanyard fitting and use, and safe behaviour once you’re actually working at height.
Working at heights training applies broadly — from residential roofing work on new estate homes to industrial maintenance platforms — and is often a prerequisite before workers are allowed onto any elevated worksite.
The OHS Act’s Construction Regulations require anyone working at height to be properly trained, given how common and severe fall-related injuries are.

What Students Say About Working at Heights Training at United Training Centre
"I'd worked on roofs before this course but never had proper training on harness use and anchor points. It changed how carefully I check things now before I go up."
