Falls from heights


Working at heights causes thousands of accidents every year. Temporary work at heights involves the highest risk. Users often have years of experience, are used to work at heights and do not recognize the risk of a falling or underestimate it. Furthermore, there are situations where no points of attachment to the construction are available.

The owner of the building, employer and employee all benefit from work that can be done safely. Legally, after a fall has occurred, it is judged whether all parties involved have met their legal obligations regarding working at heights. Despite the fact that it is not always easy to meet these obligations, failing to do so, will give room to fines and personal injury compensations.
