Work At Height accidents must STOP

Working at Height accidents can only be wiped out by a joined up approach from all stakeholders.

In 2011 the UK's safety organisations convened in Birmingham at the Access Industry Forum's Knowledge Base to tackle the issue in a collaborative manner. The energy and determination to accelerate and achieve the goal of no more working at height accidents ever was inspired by the moving presentation from Jason Anker, who was himself a victim of a fall from height.

Organisations involved in this historic event included...
Access Industry Forum (AIF)
Association of Technical Lightning & Access Specialists (ATLAS)
Association for Project Safety (APS)
British Safety Council (BSC)
British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF)
Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)
