Low Level Access Equipment Training Course (Accredited)
Accredited Low Level Access Equipment Safety Training Course
Low level access equipment is becoming steadily more common in a range of industries, with equipment like folding/low-level access towers and podium steps all seeing increasingly more widespread use.
This nationally-accredited course is designed to adhere to the standards set out by the Health & Safety at Work act. Instructors teaching this course will cover topics such the assembly and dismantling of low-level access equipment, the specific hazards and risks involved with its use, the responsibilities of its user and the proper approach to inspecting components for damage or wear.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, delegates will be fully capable of assembling, dismantling and relocating low level access units without exposing themselves or others to any risk of personal injury. They will also be confident in their ability to carry out a safe, thorough inspection of the equipment before use.
This is one of our Half-Day courses, which means it will last a maximum of 4 hours. Candidates will be tested with both theory and practical assessments, and on successful completion will be issued with a photocard ID, valid for 5 years.
Course Candidates
Our nationally recognised and accredited low-level access equipment training course is available – and indeed actively recommended – for anyone who uses low level access equipment, whether occasionally or on a regular daily basis.

This includes employees operating in locations such as construction sites, industrial units, shops, schools, hospitals or colleges, using access equipment with a height of 2.5m or below.
