Construction and civil engineering present a diverse range of situations for work at height. It is possible that every technique or working method might be used on a single site e.g. restraint, work positioning, fall arrest etc.

The construction sector is where most of the fatal accidents resulting from falls occur. Equipment used in construction is often treated very badly - proper inspection regimes are required, together with procedures for immediate rescue.

Remember to apply the work at height regulations when choosing suitable working methods and ensure that all equipment is properly cared for. If suitable anchors are not available to access the position of work, it may be necessary to install permanent anchors.
