What does working at height mean? Work at height means work in any place where, if there were no precautions in place, a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury. Some workplaces are obvious, for example, if you are working on a roof or ladder; others may be less obvious, such as working below ground level chambers or walkways. Work at height does not include a slip or a trip on the level, as a fall from height must involve a fall from one level to a lower level, nor does it include walking up and down a permanent staircase in a building. Some examples of work at height includes working on a rooftop, wind turbine, communication mast or using ladders. What are the Working at Height Regulations? The Working at Height Regulations 2005 define Working at Height as; (a) work in any place, including a place at or below ground level; (b) obtaining access to or egress from such place while at work, except by a staircase in a permanent workplace, where, if the measures required by these Regulations were not taken, a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury. Why do I need work at height training? Falls from height are one of the biggest causes of workplace fatalities and major injuries in the UK. In 2018/19, figures show there were: 40 fatalities – 27% of all fatalities at work in the UK 5,555 non-fatal injuries of which 44,400 were work at height related 3.9 million working days lost to non-fatal workplace injuries That is why everyone working at height should be trained and competent. The Work at Height Regulations state: All work at height to be properly planned and organised Those involved in work at height to be competent The risks from work at height to be assessed and appropriate work equipment selected and used The risks from fragile surfaces to be properly controlled Equipment for work at height properly inspected and maintained What are the risks? When preparing to undertake work at height it is important that hazard and risks are identified and controlled. The more common hazards that are often identified and controlled are: Falls Sharp edges on structures Fragile surfaces Weather Ground conditions Proximity of utility services Overhead obstructions Proximity of large bodies of water Moving vehicles People working above Falling objects, tools Testimonials We recently had a 3-day Advanced Working at Height & Rescue course at MRS Training & Rescue. This was a very informative course and vital for anyone working at height. The training facility is very good with a great instructor. Guttaclean Our trainer of choice for working at height and wind turbine training and rescue is MRS Training & Rescue and I have no hesitation in recommending them. Jason Ross, Managing Director, Equinox Access Solutions Group The training was a good based mixture of classroom and practical regarding all aspects of WAH, and the excellent training centre facilities to enable you to ascend and descend from a 60 foot tower, with the easy going but professional manner of the trainers, ensured this was one of the most enjoyable training courses that I have attended in recent years.
