Due to certain aspects of the course being potentially physically demanding and/or stressful, delegates will be required to confirm their medical fitness & physical ability to participate on this course.  Employers must follow specific procedures related to medical fitness. The regulation clearly states: 1. A procedure to ensure that no person is permitted to work on any elevation, 2.

The Technician to Work At height has been issued with a medical certificate of fitness, valid for the period during which such work is being performed, and 4.
