Introduction

Xi Training is pleased to announce it is now an approved training provider for the new Rooftop Worker Scheme from the Energy & Utility Skills Register (EUSR),taking safety standards to new heights by ensuring those required to access flat rooftops are trained to do so safely.

Suitable for those who need to undertake jobs at heights of three metres and above, the Rooftop Worker Scheme has been designed not just for individuals that need to climb masts and towers, but any industry role that requires working at height on a flat roof.

This course supersedes our Roof Top Worker Arqiva training course, now updated and developed to cover all requirements set out in the EUSR Rooftop Worker - Safety & Access Scheme.

On successful completion of this course, you will be granted with a unique EUSR ID which can be used to locate your personal profile on www.EUSR.co.uk - you will also be provided with a virtual ID card.
