It is now three years since the Work at Height Regulations were first introduced. The Work at Height Regulations 2005, as amended by the Work at Height (Amendment) Regulations 2007, apply to all work at height where there is a risk of a fall liable to cause personal injury.
Preventing falls from height requires sensible risk management, a principle which underpins the framework of the Work at Height Regulations and all other health and safety legislation. Sensible risk management is all about the practical steps employers should be taking to protect the health and safety of their workers.
This article, produced by the Ladder Association, deals with the correct ways to use ladders in the workplace, identify hazards and assess risks to determine the suitability of ladders for a given task, or series of tasks, at height.
