In 2003/04 falls from height accounted for 67 fatal accidents at work and nearly 4000 major injuries. They remain the single biggest cause of workplace deaths and one of the main causes of major injury. This revised leaflet is written for employers, the self-employed and anyone who works at height. It tells you what you need to do to comply with the Work at Height Regulations 2005. The Regulations apply to all work at height where there is a risk of a fall liable to cause personal injury. This revision incorporates a change to paragraph 9 of the leaflet, in light of the Work at Height (Amendment) Regulations 2007. Contents; Using this information; Why are these rules important; What is 'work at height'? What do the Schedules to the Regulations cover? Do the rules apply to you? What you must do as an employer?
