Greek law also stipulates that the above training must be repeated at regular intervals.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]What is work at height<\/strong><\/p>\n

Work at height is the characterization of all works, regardless of the object, means of access, duration of work or the height at which the work is performed, all involving the risk of a worker\u2019s injury because of a fall.
The purpose of the training is for workers to be able to work safely against falls from a height, as well as to be able to rescue a colleague in the event of an emergency (as defined by the law).<\/p>\n
