Rank: Guest		Posted By Malcolm Hogarth Thanks for the replies so far. I had all those on my list. Martin, I also thought that work at height required risk assessments but the Regs refer to the Management Regs. You can see why I am confused after being asked what are the 'Statutory' requirements. Keep those answers coming. Malcolm

Rank: Guest		Posted By elaine levy Hi there, There is a good leaflet for downloading re Risk Assessments. INDG218. Its a starting point, but doesn't appear to include pregnant women and young people. I may have missed those as I only scan read the text. Elaine

Rank: Guest		Posted By Pete Stewart Hi, Surely the answer is that anything with the potential to cause harm must be assessed, regardless of Regs etc? All the best, Pete
