A very warm welcome to SAEMA’S online training platform.

Working at height remains one of the most high-risk activities in construction, building management and maintenance. Ensuring that everyone involved – from leaders and duty holders to site operatives – is fully equipped with the right knowledge is not just a matter of compliance. It is a matter of saving lives, protecting reputations and raising the professional standard of our industry.

That is why SAEMA Online Training was created. It is a ground-breaking digital learning platform designed specifically for those working in, or responsible for, the suspended access arena. With highly engaging animated visuals and a built-in testing and invigilation system to safeguard integrity, the platform delivers an unmatched learning experience. Every course is designed to inform, engage and inspire confidence before anyone even sets foot on site.

The training is structured around three core areas:

• Permanent Equipment (Permanent Part 1)
  Providing vital knowledge of installed systems, launched in 2021 and already taken by more than 5,000 participants.
  
  
• Temporary Equipment (Temporary Part 1)
  Equipping operatives and managers with the skills to recognise and understand temporary suspended access solutions.
  
  
• Duty Holders
  Giving building owners and managers absolute clarity on their responsibilities, from understanding what equipment they have, to what maintenance is required, and their legal obligations for ongoing safety.

This suite of courses has been carefully designed by SAEMA’s expert advisors to ensure every learner walks away with a deeper understanding of the legislation, the equipment and the practical realities of working safely at height. The visualised modules allow users to see and recognise equipment in a way that traditional training cannot replicate, while the built-in testing mechanism ensures learning is measurable, meaningful and credible.

For employers and building owners, SAEMA training provides a seal of approval that demonstrates your people are not only competent but professionally trained to the highest industry standards. For operatives, it offers knowledge and confidence that helps keep them – and their colleagues – safe every day.

The benefits are clear: safer sites, higher professional standards, reduced risks and enhanced reputations. In an environment where safety is paramount, there is no substitute for informed, accredited training.
