Someone has to paint the Eiffel Tower, and someone needs to clean the windows on the top of those massive rockets
they keep sending into orbit, so the astronauts can see where they’re going. Hopefully, the brave souls who do those
jobs have been trained properly about working at height. After all, gravity doesn’t negotiate.
Working at height is one of the biggest causes of serious workplace injuries. You could be working on a roof, standing
on a ladder, or just working near a ledge. Under the Work at Height Regulations 2005, any work at height must be
properly planned, supervised, and carried out safely. That means identifying risks, choosing the right controls, and
understanding your responsibilities before anyone even leaves the ground.
