to help them during their visits and meetings about safe work at height.
For more information contact infoline at hse.infoline@natbrit.com.
The Topic Inspection pack is provided for HSE and Local Authority Inspectors to help them assess duty holders’ arrangements for managing work at height. This pack has been made available to enable health and safety professionals and duty holders to understand what inspectors are looking for during their visits to premises. The pack sets out the arrangements that inspectors will expect to be in place and explains what they will look for if particular access equipment is present.
HSE and Local Authority Inspectors have had formal training on the Work at Height Regulations. These presentations form the basis of this training. They have been made available in the spirit of openness to enable health and safety professionals, employers and people who work at height to understand more about the HSE approach to the Work at Height Regulations. The files are a PDF copy of PowerPoint presentations including speaker notes. They are not formal guidance on the Work at Height Regulations.
A series of events have taken place to ensure that inspectors involved in regulating the adventure activities sector are aware of the requirements of the Work at Height (Amendment) Regulations 2007.
They were given a presentation and a series of demonstrations showing safe systems of work.
