The Falls from height Policy team are working on developing a toolkit of information and guidance for people who occasionally work at height and are unsure of the different types of access equipment that are available.
The toolkit will help people understand the basic key issues when working at height and the factors to consider to ensure people know how to select the most appropriate and safest equipment for the task.
WAIT will NOT give advice and guidance on specialised and more complex work at height for example, working on fragile roofs and rope access techniques. These are specialised areas of work where formal training and competence is required. These complex types of jobs need to be assessed in much more depth.
People should be competent and trained in the use of all work at height equipment.
Receive the latest news and information on slips, trips and falls from height, including campaign updates, in a free regular email newsletter.
We'll ask you to confirm your subscription - then send you a copy of the most recent bulletin.
