Working at Heights Training

Intola Safety is proud to be a Chief Prevention Officer-approved provider of Working at Heights training.

As of April 1st 2015, workers that have no experience working at heights that are entering into or working on construction projects mandated by the Construction Regulation will need to complete a working at heights training program that has been approved by the Chief Prevention Officer before they can work at heights.
