Russell Stuart, marketing manager, Zarges says: "Long romanticised, working at height is not for everyone. Even when it feels like second nature, let the right equipment provide that extra layer of security. The statistics reported by the Health and Safety Executive last October revealed that over the course of the last five years falls from a height were responsible for 26% of all fatal injuries, an average of 37 fatal injuries every year. More complex working at height conditions involving electrical hazards, noisy equipment, oily or wet flooring, can also increase the risk of injury.

"All of our products are made to the new EN 131 Professional standard. However, it is important that users choose a product based on their own risk assessment, based on the Work at Height Regulations 2005. And while the best thing about working at height is that it can make you feel like you’re on top of the world, it doesn’t mean that you have to climb at your own risk." Stand SH2054
