The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has overhauled its guidance for working at height, their aim being to set out in clear, simple terms what to do and what not to do.

Key changes include:

• providing simple advice about do’s and don’ts when working at height to ensure people are clear on what the law requires
• busting some of the persistent myths about health and safety law, such as the banning of ladders
• offering targeted advice to helping business in different sectors manage serious risks sensibly and proportionately
• helping workers to be clearer about their own responsibilities for working safely.

Judith Hackitt, Chair of the Health and Safety Executive, said: It’s important to get working at height right. Falls remain one of the biggest causes of serious workplace injury – with more than 40 people killed and 4,000 suffering major injuries every year.

We have a sensible set of regulations and have been working with business to improve our guidance – making it simpler and clearer and dispelling some of the persistent myths about what the law requires.
