Planning

You must:

  • ensure that no work is done at height if it is safe and reasonably practicable to do it other than at height;
  • ensure that the work is properly planned, appropriately supervised and carried out in as safe a way as is reasonably practicable;
  • plan for emergencies and rescue; and
  • take account of the risk assessment carried out under regulation 3 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations.

Weather

You must ensure that the work is postponed while weather conditions endanger health or safety (but this does not apply to emergency services acting in an emergency).
