Apr 8 2005

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) today launches a brief guide to the Work at Height Regulations.

The guide outlines what people must do to comply with the Regulations, which come into effect on 6 April.

Dr Elizabeth Gibby, Director of HSE’s Injuries Reduction Programme, said: “This guidance is aimed principally at small businesses and those not familiar with the Work at Height Regulations. It gives an excellent short introduction to the new Regulations and how to work at height safely.”

“Some in the construction industry are concerned about what the Regulations mean for standards of work above two metres. These Regulations are aimed at maintaining and improving standards for all work at height. Standards for work above two metres will not change, they are simply being extended to work at any height.”

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 – a brief guide is available on the HSE website at: http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg401.pdf. It will also be available free from HSE Books (see Notes to Editors).
