CM is inviting readers to take part in a special survey ahead of Safe Working at Height Week next month (7-13 November).
Safe Working at Height Week is a new initiative bringing together professionals from across the built environment, trade bodies, and government policy makers, to highlight the issues surrounding both current practice and future developments in safe working at height.
It is supported by partners including Safe Working at Height Week is supported by the Association for Project Safety (APS), Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), International Powered Access Federation (IPAF), and the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC).
Falls from height were the main cause of construction workplace deaths in 2020/21. Of 40 fatal accidents during that year, 21 involved a fall from height – that’s more than half of all deaths in the sector.
As part of Safe Working At Height Week, CM has launched a new survey examining attitudes to working at height and the risks involved.
We are interested in where the biggest risks lie and what can be done to reduce them. All answers will be anonymised. The survey will take around three minutes to complete.
