Working from heights

For most professional decorators, working many feet above the ground on ladders and scaffolding is an integral part of the job but there should never be any complacency about the dangers.

 

According to the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), falls from heights accounted for 67 fatal accidents at work and nearly 4000 major injuries in 2003/4 alone.

They remain the single biggest cause of workplace deaths and one of the main causes of major injury.
