Working at height is not a game, it is a profession where one misplaced trip can place you in hospital, a wheelchair, lead to life changing injuries, or death.

If you have children this will leave them without a father or a mother, a life of sadness, if you don’t have children think of your partner, and overall think of any dependants that you have, yes, working at height is this serious.

This is why fallarrest.com invests so much time, resource, and money to continually put our message across, to call those in the industry out who do not conform to standards, to contractors and building owners who do not provide the correct and adequate safety measures to prevent falls and the consequences of what a fall can bring.

Focus should always remain on safety and not the pursuit of profits.

If you are working at height ensure that the correct and appropriate measures are in place, if you are engaging the services of a fall protection provider ensure that they are suitably placed and that they use trained specialists because at the end of the day it is your health, safety, welfare and life that is at risk.
