In 2003/2004 67 people died and nearly 4000 suffered a serious injury as a result of a fall from height in the workplace.

Falls from height are the most common cause of fatal injury and the second most common cause of major injury to employees, accounting for around 15% of all such injuries.

In April the new Work At Height Regulations 2005 came into force outlining the duties Employers have to protect their workforce from falls from height.

The regulations require dutyholders to ensure: All work at height is properly planned and organised. Those involved in work at height are competent. The risks from work at height are assessed and appropriate work equipment (PPE) is selected and used and that this equipment is properly inspected and maintained. (Source - HSE website)
