Work at Height – Safety Netting

Working at height remains one of the biggest causes of fatalities and major injuries. Common cases include falls from ladders and through fragile surfaces. ‘Work at height’ means work in any place where, if there were no precautions in place, a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury (for example a fall through a fragile roof). Safety netting provides collective fall protection. See the HSE website for additional information: http://www.hse.gov.uk/toolbox/height.htm
