It is the nature of most properties that water tanks and other items of plant are often located in areas where The Work at Height Regulations 2005 would apply; for example loft spaces, rooftops and ceiling voids
The Regulations require duty holders to ensure:
- All work at height takes account of weather conditions that could endanger health and safety
- Those involved are trained and competent
- The place where work at height is done is safe
- Equipment for work at height is appropriately inspected
- The risks from fragile surfaces are properly controlled
- The risks from falling objects are properly controlled
At Nemco, our engineers are trained extensively, in accordance with BS8454:2006 (The Code of Practice for the delivery of training and education for work at height and rescue) and includes an induction at Nemco’s bespoke height training area.
