Health & Safety

Work at height remains one of the highest-risk activities in construction and maintenance. Doing it well takes training, planning, the right equipment and a culture that treats every descent seriously. This category is where we share how that’s achieved.

Here you’ll find articles on IRATA training levels and what each qualification means, method statements and risk assessments, exclusion zones and permit systems, rescue planning, equipment inspection routines, weather limits, and the questions a client should ask before allowing any contractor to work above their building.

We also cover roof safety, anchor points and edge protection, and how existing fall arrest systems should be tested and maintained.
