Is work being undertaken in any place where, if there were no precautions in place, a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury?
Training can be from awareness and management in order to avoid working at height; skills, equipment and discipline to reduce the risk, likelihood or harm; and must include ensuring others around you are safe too!

Element Safety can provide everything you need to comply with the regulations and keep you, and your team, safe.
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.
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 state:
“You must carry out a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risk for all work activities for the purpose of deciding what measures are necessary for safety”.
Whether you work on scaffolding, tower cranes, embankments, buildings, ladders … your safety and that of those around you is of paramount importance.
