Posted By Renny Thomson You'll be busy for a while then... How can you possibly contemplate dealing with Work at Height by a generic assessment? Are your people working at 1m elevation or 100m? Who are they? What are they doing? How do they get there? How long are they there for?..... ad nauseum

Posted By Ron Hunter Got to agree with Renny. A generic approach is opposite to what the WAHR are all about. Think 'task based'!!!!

Posted By Ron Hunter Got to agree with Renny. A generic approach is opposite to what WAHR require (and at the end of the day, not much use to anyone). Think 'task & location based'!

Posted By Paul Oliver I believe, you should be developing more of a toolbox talk / working procedure, explaining to people / employees the need for them to carry out RA's prior to working at height and what considerations that need taking into account. This would be more effective than trying to prodcue generic RA's that will need updating every time a W@H task is carried out. Alternatively, you could produce a checklist as an aid memoir for employees to complete prior to W@H this would then form part of the risk assessment and prompt employees as to which control measures they will need to implement.

Posted By Cr8r John Have emailed you direct with my GENERIC working at height risk assessment that I did two years ago. I hope it helps you in some way. As for the previous responses, most helpful I'm sure. John asked for a generic, he didn't say it was in place of specific or tool box talks. I don't know why you all seemed so surprised. My generic RA was proved useful on a number of occasions. So there. Good luck John.

Posted By Ron Hunter Well, I'll certainly know where to ask next time we have to do some generic work at generic premises with generic tools and people. Might be something worth reviewing next time we have a 'generic' accident, then again might be a useful production if we were ever to be generically (?) prosecuted! ;)
