Working at Height.....What is it?

All work activities which involve working at a height, including:-

working from ladders, scaffolds and platforms;

working on roofs and bridges;

working over tanks and pits.

Working 'at height' can apply to a wide range of situations, from a person working hundreds of feet above the ground, to a person standing on a chair in an office changing a light bulb, and even to those working at ground level or below ground where there is a risk of injury from falling.
