Working at Height

Falls from height remain the single largest cause of deaths in the UK workplace. Although The Work at Height Regulations 2005 are driving up standards the safety of those working at height remains a challenge. Here are some simple tips to help you work safely at height:

  • Always ask the question “do I need to go up there?” – avoid leaving the floor if you can
  • Put fall prevention measures ahead of fall protection measures – guardrails are better than nets
  • Always use collective controls before personal ones
  • Only rely on a hardness as a last resort
