Height Safety Systems

IMPAC’s height safety systems training focuses on what learners need to get right before they rely on a temporary system in the field. Trainers work through system selection, anchor point identification, manufacturer instructions, and the practical checks that help people decide whether a setup is suitable for the task in front of them.

The course combines guided instruction with hands-on installation, use, and disestablishment of horizontal and vertical systems. Learners work through practical exercises and workplace examples covering rigging, work positioning, fall arrest, and the kinds of mistakes that can turn a control into a hazard when equipment is installed incorrectly, used poorly, or packed down without proper checks. The training keeps the focus on practical decision-making, safe system use, and recognising defects or hazards before work begins.

If you’re continuing your learning journey in health and safety, this course can contribute towards IMPAC’s Certificate in Applied Workplace Health and Safety Practices (Level 3), which leads to the New Zealand Certificate in Workplace Health and Safety Practice (Level 3).
