What to Watch When Working at Height
Falls from height are the single biggest cause of workplace deaths and one of the main causes of major injuries. It is therefore essential that any work at height is properly planned, supervised and carried out by competent people to make sure it is undertaken safely as required by the Work at Height Regulations 2005 (WAHR).
A Brief Guide: Safe Use of Ladders & Stepladders
This guidance is for employers on the simple, sensible precautions they should take to keep people safe when using portable leaning ladders and stepladders in the workplace. It will also be useful for employees and their representatives.
How to: Know When to Use a Ladder
Ladders can be a sensible and practical option for low risk and short duration tasks, but they shouldn’t automatically be your first choice.
Use a ladder when your risk assessment has shown that other equipment (o ering a higher level of fall protection) is not justified, and that a ladder can be used safely.
How to: Select the Right Ladder
Ladders can be a sensible and practical option for low risk and short duration tasks, but they shouldn’t automatically be your first choice. If it’s right to use a ladder, make sure you choose the right ladder. Ladders come in all shapes and sizes – it’s down to you to find the most suitable one for each task.
How to: Secure Your Ladder
Ladders can be a sensible and practical option for low risk and short duration tasks. Setting a ladder up correctly to start with will help you stay safe when working at height, but it’s important you also secure your ladder to help prevent it from slipping or moving while in use.
