Working at Height Risk Assessment
This working at height risk assessment template is designed for UK construction contractors carrying out any work at height activity — from ladder use and scaffold erection to roof work and MEWP operations. Under the Working at Height Regulations 2005, every employer must ensure that work at height is properly planned, supervised and carried out by competent persons. This template walks you through the WAH Regulations 2005 hierarchy of control: avoid work at height where possible; use existing places of work; provide collective protection (guardrails, safety nets); then individual protection (harnesses). It covers hazard identification, risk rating, control measures, rescue planning and operative sign-off. Suitable for principal contractors, subcontractors and sole traders working on UK construction sites.
