Share this article: as part of our “refocus on safety” campaign, cif health & safety executive, john egan, provides an update on safety at heights. Working at height continues to be the greatest causal factor for fatalities and serious injury in construction. 4 of the 5 reported fatalities in construction in 2020 relate to working at height, the other involved machinery. Many falls occur at relatively low heights, for example, 2 or 3 metres above ground level. According to the health and safety authority (hsa), working at height is defined as: “work in any place, including a place at, above or below ground level, where a person could be injured if they fell from that place.

The phrase “working from height” may conjure up an image of workers on scaffolding on a high rise building, or indeed the famous “work atop a skyscraper” scene high above new york city. In fact, working from height is very broadly defined within the general application regulations (the safety, health and welfare at work (general application) regulations 2007 and the safety, health and welfare at work (general application) regulations 2007 to 2020). It includes work in any place, including when gaining access to or from a place of work, where, absent any measures being put in place, an employee might fall a distance, which could result in personal injury.
