Working at Heights Refresher in Full Swing

Mandatory Working at Heights training came into effect on April 1, 2015. The Chief Prevention Officer of the Ministry of Labour has outlined the requirements for this training and it is mandatory that your WAH training be refreshed every three years. (WAHR)

You must take WAHR three years from the date on your card.
For example, if you completed WAH on October 1, 2015, your refresher training is due by October 1, 2018.

If your card has expired, you are no longer permitted to work at heights.
I f you are caught working at heights with an expired card you are subject to MLTSD fines.

• At the moment, If your card has expired, you are still permitted to take WAHR training as per Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development guidelines. However, there is something in the works, and we might expect this to change in the near future.

​
You must provide proof of WAH training when registering for WAHR. 

• A valid WAH card; (from an approved training provider);
• your MOL Working at Heights card and/or
• your MOL student number.
