Roof Rescue Workshop
The site based workshop authored and delivered by 3 Education Ltd will provide information and
guidance for Project/Site Managers and Health and Safety teams to be able to
organise/supervise the removal of those operating on a roof that may require assistance. These
include tradespersons, their supervisors and anyone else who may be working on the roof.
The removal maybe “walking wounded” through to more severe health or injury issues involving
stretchers or other mechanical aids.
The course provides a clear understanding of the requirements of the Work at Height
Regulations and the specific duties directed at those responsible for those working at height.
The classroom sessions are followed by practical exercises where numerous options are
discussed and trialled to highlight the workable and non-workable parts of a proposed rescue
plan.
