Overview

This presentation will outline  research work recently undertaken by one of the UK’s (and global) major scaffolding companies to identify what objects fall from height, why such objects fall from height and measures to take to prevent objects falling from height.

Refreshments will be served from 19.00 and the meeting will commence at 19.30

What's in it for me

This event is very pertinent to all those who have an interest in, are involved in, or have work done at height.  You will also hear details of an organisation that specialises in objects falling from height and details of a database to assist in capturing and analysing objects falling from height incidents.

Who should attend?

Any safety professional that has an interest in working at height, and particularly anyone associated with the construction industry

Speakers

Tony Horsfall is a branch and committee member of long standing. He has professional qualifications in safety, quality and engineering, as well as many years’ experience in and around the construction industry, both in the UK and overseas. His current employer- a scaffolding company - has undertaken this research.
