Working at height onsite survey and risk assessment

Both employers and employees have responsibility for ensuring safety when working at height to ensure optimum productivity and avoid preventable accidents and near-misses. However, most companies are not work at height experts, which is where a service such as our work at height onsite survey can assist. By engaging industry experts, you can ensure work at height is both safe and efficient.

Here at HLS, we understand that every company and site is different. Each has to perform different tasks when working at height, and each has different restrictions that determine what equipment can and cannot be used. We understand the challenges – and opportunities - involved in changing how work at height is done in your organisation. So we put together a suite of services to help you optimise work at height safety on your site, however complex your needs.

Assessing your site

We are knowledgeable about the requirements of The Work at Height Regulations, LOLER and PUWER, and can help you understand them in the context of your own site. HLS offers a number of onsite survey and risk assessment options, in which we assess your work environment, discuss your training and maintenance requirements, and use this information to make recommendations and devise an action plan.

Which option is right for me?

We know that different organisations have different levels of need, some just need a pointer towards the right equipment, others need more in-depth analysis of tasks being done at height, some need help identifying cultural issues that might be impacting on the ability to implement changes to working practices. Below we have detailed the various levels of support we offer.
