OVERVIEW

Do you work at heights in Queensland? Want to keep working safely and legally? You’ll need to complete working at heights refresher training from a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) – that’s us.

What is working at heights refresher training? This refresher course is designed to recap and update trade workers (such as builders, electricians, scaffolders, and riggers) on the regulations and procedures of working at heights. It’s a required health and safety refresher course in Queensland and NSW for anyone working at heights.

Course Details

Working at height, such as on ladders, around building sites, during renovations, and on scaffolding, is a common part of trade jobs. Completing your fresher training in the unit RIIWHS204E will help you work legally and safely in places with a risk of falling.

Who’s this refresher course for? This course is designed for construction workers, scaffolders, riggers, doggers, and anyone working in situations with fall risks. You must have previously completed either RIIWHS204E or RIIWHS204D Work Safely at Heights, as this course is a refresher and not the full in-depth course.

Successfully completing your working at heights refresher course gets you a statement of attainment that you can use to continue working safely and legally at heights.

What's INCLUDED:

Regulations, legislations, and Australian standards around working at heights

Fall risk assessments and hazard mitigation

Selecting and using the correct equipment to work at heights

Using anchor systems and fall restraint systems

Correctly setting up and using work positioning systems and fall arrest systems

Using energy-absorbing lanyards

Correct use of ladders and ladder safety training

Conduct work safely at heights

Correct and safe cleaning and dismantling of work area

Entry Requirements

Participants must have already completed the RIIWHS204E Work Safely at Heights course. We also recommend wearing steel-capped or safety boots on site and sun protection (such as a hat, long-sleeved shirt, and pants).

Working at Heights Refresher – Career Pathways

Many trade careers require team members to be trained to work at heights, including sectors like mining and energy, construction, manufacturing, engineering, and civil construction. By completing your work safely at heights refresher course, you’ll be able to continue your current job legally and apply for new responsibilities.

Possible Roles

Construction Worker: Most building projects require some level of working at heights. With this refresher course, you can work on residential, commercial, and industrial projects that span construction, renovations, refurbishments, and demolitions.

Window Cleaner: For larger projects and companies, window cleaners typically use harnesses and suspension equipment to clean windows in high places, making this refresher course a requirement.

Telecomms Technician: Telecommunications technicians install and maintain telecomms towers and associated apparatus, which means they need working at heights refresher training to safely and legally do their jobs.

Roofer: It goes without saying that roofers need safe heights training. Specialise in roofing work by completing your working at heights refresher.

Building Inspector: To inspect every part of a project, a building inspector is often required to move and conduct inspections at heights.

Commercial Electrician: You’ll install electrical systems and maintain equipment at heights as a commercial electrician.

POTENTIAL WAGES COULD BE IN THE REGION OF $80,000 TO $100,000 PER YEAR

Awesome!! After coming from TAFE the training is so much better.
Awesome!! After coming from TAFE the training is so much better. Smaller classes better and more knowledgeable teachers who care about the students and more flexible learning (being able to do most of the work from home). TAFE felt like it was just there to keep apprentices there for as long as possible (spending 8 hours to do 2 hours of work) but here it’s all based around the student, come in for the morning to to finish up units then go back to work for the rest of the day.

Would definitely recommend to others
The staff were very friendly, trainer Carl made it very easy to learn what was needed and helped when I was struggling. Crane operator pat was very kind and made it easy to do the lifts. Amazing operator. Would definitely recommend to others and will be coming back to learn other skills. 👍

I recently completed my Certificate III (online) through Major Training Group, and I had a wonderful experience.

My educator, Cathy Fendley, was absolutely fabulous. We had agreed-upon sessions once a week (and sometimes twice a week when needed), and she was always supportive, organised, and encouraging. Cathy helped me tremendously, especially with my case studies, making sure I fully understood the requirements and felt confident in my work.

She also went above and beyond by helping me find a placement closer to my location, which made a big difference for me. During my placement, she visited and gave me such a great morale boost — her support truly meant a lot.

I’m very grateful to have had Cathy as my teacher. She is a wonderful educator and a genuinely caring person. Highly recommend Major Training Group!

I had a fantastic experience with Major Training. Katrina was my trainer for both my EWP and Forklift courses, and she was absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. She explains everything clearly and makes sure everyone feels confident and safe.
I also want to mention Thane. Even though he wasn’t my trainer, he was very friendly and always willing to help.
Great team, professional training, and a very welcoming environment. Highly recommended definitely more than 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Highly recommend this RTO! The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and always happy to help whenever you need support. They genuinely care about your learning and make sure you understand the material, not just pass the course.

They also create a great environment with things like regular BBQs, which makes it a welcoming and supportive place to study. It’s clear they put real effort into looking after their students and building a strong community.

If you’re considering training here, you won’t regret it.

Highly recommend Major training. I cannot express how much it was a pleasure to be educated and trained by my highly experienced assessor CARL BERRY for helping me complete my C6 Crane ticket. It's alot of theory work and alot of maths and also practical about the Crane as I've had no experience. Carl Berry gave not just me but the other pupils in the classroom the time and the patience to help us to complete and accomplish this course. I'm not gonna lie it is very hard but with the right training studying and perseverance it was all well worth it. Thank you so much Carl for all your hard work and keep it mate. I really do appreciate what you have done for me. And last but not least thank you Major training for having me as a student at your facility.

I can't recommend Paul from Major Training highly enough! He was an incredible instructor who supported me every step of the way in obtaining my HR licence. After failing my first test due to nerves, I was feeling pretty discouraged. However, Paul’s patience, understanding, and encouragement made all the difference.

He took the time to go over everything thoroughly, helping me rebuild my confidence and fine-tune my skills. His calm demeanor helped ease my anxiety. Thanks to Paul’s support, I was able to pass my test.

Thank you Paul, I appreciate the help to better my life!
