THE Details

Working at Heights is our most in-demand course, and we run multiple public sessions every week to support the workers and companies we serve across Kingston, Belleville, Picton, and surrounding Ontario communities.

Whether you’re experienced or brand new to working at heights, this training gives you the practical skills and confidence you need to work safely.
  • Our program meets all requirements of Ontario’s CPO-approved Working at Heights (WAH) Program Standard and covers the essentials of fall prevention, equipment inspection, safe anchor selection, and maintaining 100% tie-off.
  • Through clear instruction and hands-on practice, participants learn how to recognize fall hazards, use their equipment correctly, and apply safe procedures on the job.

This training isn’t just about meeting a legal requirement - it’s about building the habits and awareness that keep people safe. Workers leave with stronger skills, clearer expectations, and the confidence to do their work responsibly at height.

​Completing your Working at Heights certification with Safety Guys ensures you’re prepared, compliant, and ready for new opportunities in construction and related trades.
Working at Heights Module 1: Theory  - 3.5 hours
Working at Heights Module 2: Practical - 4.0 hours

​
Private sessions can be arranged at your location or at one of our training centres in Belleville, Picton or Kingston. 

​Our manuals are now printed in full colour and follow AODA design guidelines to improve the student experience!
