Rescue Planning Consultancy

Under the Working at Height Regulations 2005, it is now the responsibility of companies themselves to have a rescue plan in place in the event of a worker falling. Companies with personnel working at height without a rescue plan in place face possible prosecution by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), which can lead to a fine or even imprisonment. Harnesses and other fall protection equipment (FPE) go a long way towards the safety of your staff whilst on site, but if a fall was to occur the emergency services are no longer obliged to retrieve a person from a fall arrest scenario.

There are many variables to consider when planning rescues and can vary from site to site and can be very complex in their nature.

Taskmasters offer a consultancy service, where one of our surveyors will attend site and complete a full report on the requirements of all workers working at height and will provide a comprehensive rescue plan.
