Falls from height

Do you perform work at height and if so is it done safely?

Falls from height at work account for around 60 deaths and just under 4000 major injuries each year.

One of the main causes is falls from ladders. To help prevent falls from height, make sure you consider the risks to all your workers, the work is planned, organised and carried out by competent people and you follow the hierarchy for managing risks.

Make sure workers are properly trained and supervised, have the right equipment and know how to use it safely.

Does This Concern Me?

Do you carry out simple maintenance or cleaning tasks that require working where you could hurt yourself if you fell?
Can you avoid the need to work at height? For example,could the work be done using long-handled tools or by bringing it down to ground level?
Do you have the most appropriate equipment for the job? It may often be safer to use a tower scaffold or mobile elevating work platform than a ladder.
Is the equipment you have well maintained and do your employees know how to use it safely?
