Health and safety training videos

We have created a series of videos for Building and Facilities Managers and those who are involved in managing health and safety. Employers can use them for to training purposes and as a refresher for people with responsibilities in this field.

Work at Height - Emergency Rescue

This short video about emergency rescue planning for work at height is produced for those who may be involved in planning or authorising work at height.

This video is not intended to promote any particular type of work at height industry or rescue method. Any decisions made at any premises for which you have responsibility should be based upon your own risk assessment.

Any brands observed within this video are entirely coincidental and should not be considered to be promotional or critical in any way.​

Work at Height - Fall Arrest

This is a short video about fall arrest equipment. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 (as amended) set out a hierarchy of controls that must be considered when selecting methods for work at height. Some precautions, such as guardrails or fall restraint systems, should usually be considered in preference to fall arrest systems. 

This video does not cover all the issues you should consider in working at height but instead discusses some specific key issues which we find are often overlooked when fall arrest systems are relied upon as the most reasonably practicable option.

Rope Access - Assessing Contractor Competency

This is a short video about the assessment of contractors involved in rope access. The video is aimed at Building and Facilities Managers responsible for the selection of contractors for work at height and discusses some specific key issues which we find are often overlooked – including whether rope access is the most reasonably practicable option.

Rope Access - Risk Assessments and Method Statements video

This short video gives practical advice to Building and Facilities Managers on how to assess risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) for rope access work. Key aspects of the work, which are integral to safety and which we often find are overlooked in the RAMS, are discussed here.

Further guidance is available from the IRATA Code of Practice, the HSE, BS ISO 22846:2012 or its appendix BS7985:2013 – the code of practice for the use of rope access methods.
