Contour Training offers Safe Working at Heights courses accredited by NPORS or Lantra. Anyone required to work at height should also receive adequate and appropriate training in how to safely perform their duties. This course is designed as a safe introduction to working at heights and the common hazards and risks associated with such work.
We often combine this half-day course with the NPORS half-day Harness Safety Awareness course.
Contour Training’s industry experience includes working with both public and private sector, construction and utility sectors, government organisations, local authorities, MOD and conservation groups. We have some of the most experienced Lantra Awards and NPORS trainers in the UK, many of whom are also highly experienced with all types of all-terrain vehicles.
