| Abstract |
Falling from height is one of the main causes of fatal accidents in agriculture. Many accidents involving falls happen during maintenance and construction of farm buildings, often because no precautions were taken, or equipment was used incorrectly, was inappropriate or defective. This leaflet uses real-life examples to show what can go wrong, and gives advice on how to avoid falls from height. Contents: Introduction; Falls through fragile roofs; Falls through roof lights; Falls from open edges; Working platforms on fork-lift trucks; Ladders; Using contractors; Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 (CDM Regulations); Find out more; Further information. |
