Frequently asked questions
- When do I need a working at height risk assessment?
- You need one whenever work is done at a height where a person could be injured by falling, even if it's at or below ground level (such as near an opening). This includes ladder work, scaffold access, roof work, and using platforms.
- What should a working at height risk assessment cover?
- It should cover the type of access equipment, edge protection arrangements, fragile surfaces, weather conditions, rescue plans, training requirements, and the competence of workers. Each task at height should be individually assessed.
- What are the Work at Height Regulations 2005?
- These regulations require employers to avoid work at height where possible, use appropriate equipment where it can't be avoided, and take measures to prevent falls. Risk assessment is a key requirement under these regulations.
- Can I use Riskora for scaffold risk assessments?
- Yes. Riskora includes specific presets for scaffold erection, use, and dismantling, covering hazards such as manual handling of scaffold components, working at height during erection, and scaffold stability.
