THE Details

Working at Heights Refresher (WAHR) training is a mandatory requirement, ensuring workers are up to date and equipped to maintain safety standards. Whether you're in the construction sector or other industries covered by the Construction Regulation O./Reg 213/91, this course is a must-have.

Our WAHR program, endorsed by the Chief Prevention Officer, is designed to refresh your understanding of critical concepts covered in Part 2 of the full Working at Heights session.

Through this refresher course, you'll reinforce your ability to plan, protect, and prepare your work site effectively. We'll delve into identifying and preventing surface falls, along with safe practices for working at heights, all in full compliance with relevant guidelines and regulations.

What if your card is expired?

​Under current regulations, even if your WAH training has expired, you are still eligible to take refresher training. However,  you are not permitted to work at heights with an expired card, and you could be subject to fines from the MLITSD if you do so.

You MUST Provide proof of your full day WAH Training  - we cannot permit you to take WAHR without it. We accept ​WAH wallet cards and pdf certificates.

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

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