Health and Safety Legislation
Organisations, and individuals therein, that fail to take responsibility for health and safety are subject to criminal prosecution and/or civil action.
Employers have legal, moral and financial reasons to ensure that they safeguard the health, safety and welfare of their employees (including employees of contractors that may be engaged in activities on their behalf) as well as third parties that may be affected by their undertakings.
Despite a plethora of legislation having been produced over the years the basic guiding principle is that a duty of care exists. Every effort must be made by all concerned parties to prevent incidents and accidents, a responsibility which cannot be reduced by ignorance or, more commonly, by attempting to pass it onto another party.
Listed below are extracts from the more common pieces of legislation relevant to organisations engaged directly, or indirectly, in work at height. The list is not exhaustive and further reading is essential; reference to Approved Codes of Practice (ACoPs) is highly recommended.
