Can anyone remind me:-
- that there was a 2m rule above which the regs applied
- when it changed (was it WAH regs 2005?)
Many thanks

Incidentally the 2 m rule was for double guard rail and toe board but the regs still required all falls to be protected, regardless of height so at least a single guard rail. see reg 6(1) on the same link above.

WAH still has a 2 metre rule, only a different one applying to the duty to inspect!
Regulation 12(4)b:
(4) Without prejudice to paragraph (2), every employer shall ensure that a working platform—
(a) used for construction work; and
(b) from which a person could fall 2 metres or more,
is not used in any position unless it has been inspected in that position or, in the case of a mobile
working platform, inspected on the site, within the previous 7 days.

And other legislation still has the 2m rule for certain industries - see SI 1999 No. 2205 and the associated MSN Annex A part 10.
