Work done at heights can be some of the most dangerous work and holds the largest risks of injury or death. It's an employer's job to make sure work done at heights is being done safely!
Risks when working at heights aren't always just simple falls, it's important that things like fragile surfaces, an opening in a floor or a hole in the ground are considered when performing your risk assessment.
The HSE has made a chart to help reduce risks when working at height.
This chart should be used to help reduce any risks in the workplace.
