Our approach
+IMPAC's Safe Working at Heights (Pre-recorded Webinar) training approach
IMPAC delivers this working at heights webinar as a self-paced learning experience built around clear explanations, practical examples, and scenario-based decision-making. Rather than relying on abstract rules, the course walks learners through how to spot common hazards, assess the level of risk, and apply the hierarchy of controls in a way that makes sense on site.
Across the webinar, learners work through examples involving ladders, scaffolding, mobile elevating work platforms, and fall arrest systems so the content stays grounded in the situations people face in real workplaces. The focus stays on helping learners understand how to make safer decisions before work starts and while conditions change, including selecting suitable systems and recognising when controls may no longer be effective.
