Do You Comply With The Work At Height Regulations?
Working at height is defined as a height where a person could fall a distance liable
to cause personal injury. So does your organisation have employees that use stepladders,
ladders, scaffolds, mobile elevating work platforms and work on or have access to
structures or rooftops? If so then the Work at Height Regulations apply to you.
- Do your employees know about the risks they run in working at height and the systems
of work that are required to keep them safe?
- Do they know how to identify obvious defects in workplaces they might visit while
working at height?
If you answered 'no' to either of the above then your organisation may be in breach
of the Work at Height Regulations and could be prosecuted or fined or be exposed
to significant legal claims. The provision of training is not a matter of choice
or optional, it is an absolute legal requirement for your company.
Falls from height account for one death every week. In addition, there are seven
major injuries resulting in broken bones or being unable to carry out normal working
duties every day due to a fall from height. Remarkably, two thirds of people with
major injuries have fallen from a height of less than two metres.
