We have stringent legislation in the UK that’s designed to make the workplace safer and reduce the number of falls from height on construction projects.  However, a fall from height is still the single biggest cause of death and injury in the workplace in Britain.  The Access Industry Forum (AIF) was established in 2004 to liaise with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) during the development of the Work at Height Regulations 2005 (WAHR 2005) and is committed to promoting safety, best practice and competency when working at height, on all types of access equipment.
