Publisher's Synopsis
This report on preventing falls from a height identifies key areas for risk reduction and management. The biggest improvements are required in compliance and process design. Awareness needs to be raised of the risks associated with low-level falls given that there are so many of them. The economic benefits of better health and safety need to be demonstrated so that they can be communicated to industries where the culture is dominated by cost. A toolkit has been provided in order to provide a framework for selecting effective risk control measures, setting performance targets and monitoring improvement.
