Description

Employers and those in control of any work at height activity must make sure work is properly planned, supervised and carried out by competent people.
Employees have general legal duties to take reasonable care of themselves and others who may be affected by their actions, and to co-operate with their employer to enable their health and safety duties and requirements to be complied with.
