Falls from Height Regulations

It is the biggest cause of workplace deaths in the country and needs to be addressed by every employer and self-employed person that works or employs people that work at heights.

In 2005 a 'Work at Height Regulation' was brought out to give people a guide to adhere to when working from a height that is high enough to cause an injury if fallen from. It was required to reduce the number of injuries and fatalities from being extremely high to being extinct.
