Fallskyddsutbildning – trygghet på höjd

Att arbeta på höga höjder innebär alltid en risk – men med rätt kunskap kan olyckor förebyggas. Fallolyckor är den vanligaste dödsorsaken inom byggbranschen. Denna utbildning i fallskydd ger dig de praktiska och teoretiska kunskaper som krävs för att arbeta säkert, förebygga olyckor och skapa en trygg arbetsmiljö – varje dag, på varje höjd.

Vem bör gå kursen?

Utbildningen riktar sig till alla som arbetar på tak, ställningar eller andra höga höjder – samt till arbetsledare, skyddsombud och chefer med arbetsmiljöansvar. Kursen ger även fördjupad kunskap i evakuering och räddning vid nödlägen, vilket gör den särskilt värdefull för den som planerar, leder eller övervakar höghöjdsarbete.

Vad säger lagstiftningen?

Enligt Arbetsmiljölagen (2 kap. 4–7 §§) ska arbetsgivaren informera om risker och se till att arbetstagarna har rätt utbildning och utrustning för att arbeta säkert.
Sedan 1 januari 2025 gäller dessutom skärpta krav i Arbetsmiljöverkets föreskrifter:

• AFS 2023:1 – Systematiskt arbetsmiljöarbete: Ställer krav på att alla fallrisker ska undersökas, riskbedömas och åtgärdas.

• AFS 2023:10 – Risker i arbetsmiljön: Förtydligar att personligt fallskydd är en sista åtgärd – kollektiva skydd ska alltid prioriteras.

• AFS 2023:13 – Risker vid vissa typer av arbeten: Anger när fallskydd krävs, t.ex. vid arbete två meter eller mer över marknivå.

• AFS 2023:11 – Arbetsutrustning och personlig skyddsutrustning: Kräver att arbetsgivaren ger utbildning och praktisk övning i användning, skötsel och kontroll av fallskyddsutrustning.

Efter genomförd utbildning

Deltagaren får ett personligt certifikat som intygar att utbildningen uppfyller kraven i relevanta AFS-föreskrifter. Certifikatet är ett bevis på både kompetens och ansvarstagande – något som ofta efterfrågas vid upphandlingar och arbetsplatskontroller.

Förkunskaper

Inga förkunskaper krävs – kursen är anpassad både för nybörjare och erfarna yrkespersoner.

  Fall Protection Training – Safety at Heights

  Working at height always involves risk – but with the right knowledge, accidents can be prevented. Falls are the leading cause of fatal accidents in the construction industry. This course in fall protection provides both the theoretical understanding and the practical skills needed to work safely, prevent accidents, and maintain a secure working environment – every day, at every height.

  Who Should Attend?

  This training is designed for everyone working on roofs, scaffolding, or other elevated areas – as well as for supervisors, safety representatives, and managers responsible for workplace safety. The course also includes essential knowledge on evacuation and rescue from height, making it particularly valuable for those who plan, manage, or oversee work at height.

  Legal Requirements

  According to the Swedish Work Environment Act (Chapter 2, Sections 4–7), employers must inform workers about existing risks and ensure they receive proper training and equipment to perform their tasks safely.
  Since 1 January 2025, the Swedish Work Environment Authority has introduced stricter regulations that emphasize safe practices when working at height:

• AFS 2023:1 – Systematic Work Environment Management: Requires employers to identify, assess, and eliminate all risks, including fall hazards.

• AFS 2023:10 – Risks in the Work Environment: Clarifies that personal fall protection must only be used as a last resort when collective protection is not reasonable or practical.

• AFS 2023:13 – Risks in Certain Types of Work: Specifies that fall protection is required when working at a height of two meters or more.

• AFS 2023:11 – Work Equipment and Personal Protective Equipment: Requires employers to provide training and hands-on instruction in the use, care, and inspection of fall protection equipment.

• No previous experience or knowledge is required – the course is suitable for both new and experienced professionals.
