Working at Heights

Working at Heights

Figures show that 45 people died last year as a result of a fall from height in the workplace, the correct training is essential. 

The new Working at Heights legislation which came into effect in 2005 places certain responsibilities on employers. The primary objective of the new legislation is to eliminate work at height where possible and where it is not possible to ensure that all work at height is performed safely and equipment has been appropriately selected, whether it is from a mobile access tower, scaffold or a ladder.

Employers must ensure that only trained and competent persons are permitted to use equipment.

The Working at Height Regulations (WAHR) requires employers and self employed to put into place arrangements for:

  • Eliminating or minimising risks from work at height
  • Organising and planning the work at height
