A recent HSE survey found that 92% of people working in education work at height at some point; 87 of these people suffered a major injury following a fall during 2004/05.
The guidance helps identify work at height activity within the education sector and some of the hazards to look for. It also gives advice on good practice. It has been made available for duty holders in the education sector to download and use as the basis for assessing the risk to people who work at height.
This guidance has been produced by the South West Education Safety Advisers Panel with advice from HSE.
