Working at Height
Falls from height are the most common cause of fatal injury in construction. In 2014/15, almost half of all fatal construction incidents were the result of a fall from height.
All these accidents could have been prevented, and everything possible needs to be done to ensure that this type of accident does not continue occurring.
APS and the Access Industry Forum (AIF) have formed an agreement regarding advice and assistance to our members, and their organisations. In particular we act as strategic partners with regard to Construction Health and Safety Risk Management and Working at Height respectively.
What is working at height?
There is a simple definition of Working at Height. It means “any place from which a person could fall a distance likely to cause injury.”
According to the regulations, employers and workers must do all that can be reasonably expected of them to avoid work at height, to prevent anyone falling, and to mitigate the consequence of any falls.
APS was founded in 1995 to support professionals working, or interested, in design and construction health and safety risk management. Members are largely drawn from architecture, engineering, architectural technology, project management and surveying. Membership of APS supports continuous professional development and demonstrates the highest professional standards.
The Association for Project Safety [APS] is the representative professional body dedicated to working in partnership to eliminate deaths, tackle ill-health and manage risks throughout the whole life of any project in the built environment.
