Οur team had the opportunity to participate in the specialized training course “Working at Height – General Applications.” The training was conducted by the Hellenic Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (ELINYAE), the main institution in Greece responsible for collecting and disseminating knowledge on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). With extensive experience in high‑risk work environments and accredited instructors, the institute provided high‑quality, up‑to‑date guidance based on current legislation, best practices, and real‑world industry standards. The course was designed with a balanced combination of theoretical and practical learning.

In the theoretical section of the course, participants explored key legislation and safety regulations related to working at height, along with risk‑assessment procedures and hazard identification. They also learned how to properly select, inspect, and maintain personal protective equipment (PPE), and reviewed best practices for the safe use of ladders, scaffolding, and fall‑prevention systems.

The hands‑on portion allowed participants to practice the correct use of safety harnesses and fall‑arrest systems while performing simulated work‑at‑height tasks under instructor supervision. During these exercises, they familiarized themselves with rescue procedures and emergency protocols, building confidence through real‑life scenarios designed to replicate everyday field conditions.

The “Working at Height – General Applications” training course aimed to strengthen our awareness, knowledge, and hands‑on skills for performing tasks safely and efficiently when working above ground level. It reflects our company’s ongoing dedication to creating a safe workplace and continuously enhancing the professional skills of our people. By investing in comprehensive training, we ensure that everyone returns home safe at the end of the day—and that we uphold the highest standards in all operations involving elevated work.
