The all party parliamentary group has published its inquiry in to the dangers of woking at height

https://workingatheight.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Staying-Alive-APPG-REPORT.pdf 

First recommendation : The introduction of enhanced reporting without an additional burden, through RIDDOR, which at a minimum, records the scale of a fall, the method used and the circumstances of the fall.

Lets hope they use the opportunity to consult upon and clarify the RIDDOR regulations and guidance rather than just adding more text

As a contributor to the report, I'm a little disappointed in the scale and scope of the recommendations.  At the launch it felt that we all understood that ultimately culture (complacency) around work at height was likely a key factor in incidents and yet the report smiply calls for 'a major review' with no real road map for what that might mean or look like. Seems to be a focus on improvement of culture through civil penalities and reporting. Not a fan of attempting culture change through fear!

Law makers have limited tools to address this issue but don't think this will really deal with why clever people can sometimes do silly things.
