Work at Height ConsultancyThe introduction of the Work at Height regulations 2005 brings in a single set of regulations to cover all work at height activities, not just construction. The regulations require us to avoid work at height if possible, prevent falls if we do work at height, and mitigate the consequences or distance of any potential fall. There is also a requirement to consider collective protection over personal protection (guardrails are more significant than harnesses). Work at Height must be properly organised, planned and supervised by people who are competent and knowledgeable enough to select the safest solution. Safety & Access Ltd is in a unique position. With nearly 15 years of experience of providing advice to clients on work at height issues, our services include:

Safety and Access Ltd offers an independent scaffold inspection service that meets these requirements.

To meet this demand Safety and Access Limited offers a full scaffold design service to BS EN 12811, TG20 or the old BS5973. Retained Health and Safety Consultants for scaffolding companiesWith all the many years experience of scaffolding Health and Safety and following feedback from clients who have experienced difficulties using a general construction health and safety consultant, Safety and Access Ltd now provides a bespoke consultancy service to the scaffolding industry; companies which are not at a size to employ their own internal safety manager or larger companies who have their own safety manager but need extra assistance are able to take advantage of our unique service, which can include:
