Useful Information


Working at Height Regulations 2005
In 2003/04 falls from heights accounted for 67 fatal accidents at work and nearly 400 major injuries. They remain the single biggest cause of workplace deaths and one of the main causes of major injuries. The regulations have the force of law and are designed to prevent injuries and deaths, by establishing minimum requirements for work at height.

Falls from heights are generally caused by poor working practices rather than defects and faults in equipment. These working practices include using incorrect equipment, inadequate instruction, training or supervision, equipment being used wrongly, poor recognition of an access problem and lack of provision of safe equipment.

 

Work at

Height?


Work at Height is defined as any work at a workplace from which a person could be injured falling from any height, even at or below ground level. It does not apply to permanent stairways or travel to or from work. For instance, a sales assistant on a stepladder would be working at height.

The regulations apply to all employers, the self–employed and any person who controls the work of others such as a building’s owners who contracts others to work at height.
