Working at height - good practice in design

30-09-08 16:53 BIFM

Working at height is obviously dangerous, as evidenced by the annual death toll in construction. Designers are charged, under health and safety legislation, with taking the risks into account in their designs by eliminating the hazard where they can reasonably do so and by reducing the residual risk, taking everything into account.

This CPN event has been organised to gather knowledge and explore the various issues involved. It is intended as a contribution to the HSE’s ‘shattered lives’ campaign and it has the support of the Health and Safety Committee of the CIC. As well as the presentations, vigorous discussion is anticipated -both in formal session and informally.
