With working at height comes risk, according to the latest HSE statistics, in 2018/19, 40 fatal injuries to workers were due to falls from height. There were also 43,000 non-fatal accidents involving falls from height across all industries. Over 60% of deaths during work at height involved falls from ladders, scaffolds, working platforms, roof edges and through fragile roofs. The old ‘prevention is better than cure’ saying has never been truer than it is when working at height. When things go wrong, people suffer injuries, sometimes fatal.
