The Video Toolbox Talks (VTT) are a new facility from AIF. Free of charge the VTT's aim to provide objective and accurate information on working at height issues.

Delivered via online video the VTT's provide short and concise information on specific working at height subjects. Most of the VTT's are available in high definition to allow for a crisp and clear presentation. Each video is approximately 10 minutes long and is also supported by an online test facility to allow the user(s) to validate their understanding of the topic watched.
