Welcome to Fallington - your interactive guide to safe working at height

Falls are the biggest cause of deaths in Britain’s workplaces. 53 people died in 2004/5. On top of this, nearly 3,800 suffered major injury such as broken bones or fractured skulls. You don’t have to fall far to be hurt, 7 deaths and 2247 major injuries were from a fall from below head height. It’s easy to see why HSE has made reducing the number of falls from height a priority.

The HSE Height Aware Campaign took place during May and June 2006. The aim was to help people identify when they are working at height and where they may be at risk of falling.
