Working at height includes all activities where there is a risk of falling, legally defined from 2.5 meters or in situations with increased risk. It requires a mandatory Risk Inventory & Evaluation (RI&E) to implement measures that prevent injury and ensure compliance with the Working Conditions Act.
Proper advice is not a formality, but a strategic decision. It not only protects your employees, but also safeguards your organization from the significant consequences of non-compliance: substantial fines, project delays, and reputational damage. Watch the webinar on safe working at height, recorded with our expert Dirk van Blijswijk.
These information sessions are specifically designed for safety professionals, HSE coordinators, QHSE managers, and other professionals responsible for fall protection and working-at-height safety.
