Portadown Event Highlights Best Practice in Working at Height Safety
Industry professionals from across Northern Ireland and beyond came together at Industry Training Services‘ Portadown Training Centre for a dedicated Working at Height event focused on safety, innovation, and best practice in one of the workplace’s highest-risk activities.
The event brought together leading experts, trainers, and safety professionals to share insights on current challenges, regulatory requirements, and practical solutions for working safely at height. Attendees benefited from a series of keynote presentations delivered by recognised industry specialists, including health and safety speaker James (Jimmy) Gorry, Damien O’Connor, IPAF Country Manager, Sam Wilkinson, SpanSet Training Manager, and Chris James, SpanSet Technical Solutions Specialist.
Throughout the day, speakers highlighted the importance of robust safety planning, ongoing competency development, and the adoption of industry-leading equipment and procedures to reduce risk and improve workplace safety standards. With working at height continuing to be one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities and serious injuries across the UK and Ireland, the event reinforced the need for organisations to invest in effective training, equipment, and safe systems of work.
A key feature of the event was a series of live demonstrations designed to give attendees practical insight into safe working-at-height practices and rescue techniques. Sam Wilkinson and Chris James from SpanSet led a Work at Height Rescue demonstration, showcasing effective rescue procedures and best practice in emergency situations. Damien O’Connor, IPAF Country Manager, delivered a practical session on Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), highlighting the critical role of spotters in maintaining site safety. Attendees also took part in a rooftop safety demonstration with ITS’ own expert trainer, Lindsay, providing a practical overview of fall protection systems, safe access techniques, and the measures required to mitigate risk when working on rooftops.
The event also provided valuable networking opportunities, allowing attendees to engage directly with industry experts, discuss emerging trends, and explore practical solutions to challenges faced across construction, utilities, manufacturing, and facilities management sectors.
As a recognised specialist in safety training, Industry Training Services reaffirmed its commitment to helping organisations create safer working environments through high-quality, practical training programmes. With extensive expertise in Working at Height training, the company offers a comprehensive range of courses tailored to meet the specific operational requirements, risk profiles, and compliance needs of individual businesses.
Speaking following the event, representatives from Industry Training Services expressed their appreciation to the speakers, exhibitors, and attendees whose participation contributed to the success of the day.
The Working at Height event demonstrated the industry’s shared commitment to improving safety standards, promoting best practice, and ensuring that those working at height have access to the knowledge, skills, and equipment required to carry out their work safely and effectively.
