The latest developments regarding working at height. It is an aspect of health and safety that is of great concern to the HSE because of the number of accidents and incidents that are still occuring.
For example, according to HSE figures for 2003/2004, there were 67 deaths in the UK and almost 4,000 serious injuries associated with working at height. That makes it the major cause of workplace deaths in the UK. It is little wonder, therefore, that it is central to the HSE’s Injuries Reduction Programme.
