Working at Height Safely

The importance of working at height safely was stressed by the HSE when they reported 50 fatalities due to falls from height recorded in 2023 up to 2024.

Falls from height are still the most common workplace fatality according to the HSE . An important part of working safely at height is to consider the associated risks. Putting in place proportionate and sensible measures to reduce and minimise risks is an important aspect of working safely on site.
