Posted By Robert_N Fair Comment? I wanted to get a few takes on this comment “Is the task being completed where there is a risk of injury from a fall? NO, not classed as Working at Height”

Posted By EI Robert not being picky, ".......fall from an elevated workplace" may be better. Fall could be on the level, whilst using staircases, etc. Couple of additional words may provide clarity to distinguish if it is or is not work at height. I assume this is from some form of checklist for supervisors, etc (I know I should never assume...once in a while is ok). Regards EI

Posted By Ron Hunter Falling objects/fragile materials and the effect on those below must be given equal consideration. + Other factors such as wind speeds and moving sheet materials, etc. On the face of it, looks like someone is attempting to establish an unecessarily restrictive "classification" system?

Posted By Robert_N God you are good.....lol.....this is for a check list to help sup's and team leads to think about health and safety of the workforce as I can't be every where all the time. I am not as silly to believe this will work 100% but any percentage is good.
