Introduction

Managing Work at Height

Falls from height have been the largest cause of fatal workplace injuries in the UK for the past ten years, and one of the main causes of serious personal injury, according to HSE statistics.

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require all employers to carry out risk assessments and implement procedures to minimise the risk to employees carrying out work at height. It is at this point TAG can provide specialist assistance in developing and implementing a complete risk management solution for any scenario.

Our Managing Work at Height package is developed from four key areas:

1. Work at height site surveys and risk assessments

   A competent engineer will visit the site and conduct a survey of existing arrangements and the issues faced by the workforce. If required TAG can then develop specific risk assessments and best practice solutions for each hazardous activity and workplace.

2. Installation and maintenance of fall protection systems

   Based on the outcome of the site survey and risk assessment, we can specify and install access and safety systems such as barriers, ladders, personal fall protection anchors and walkways.

3. Supply of personal fall protection equipment

   Our independent sales team can supply equipment from all the leading manufacturers, based on suitability and compatibility.

4. Provision of staff training

   Our training department delivers work at height courses at all skill and awareness levels, at our dedicated venues or on-site.

These abilities in combination allow TAG to deliver a turn-key solution to any work at height issues you may have. We provide answers to your problems and can manage and implement safety solutions now and into the future.
