HSE issues report on work-related fatal injuries
Falls when working at height remain the most common kind of workplace fatality.
HSE has released the latest annual fatality statistics and there were 40 fatal injuries caused by falling from height in 2022/23.
Ladders and stepladders are not banned under health and safety law. They can be a sensible and practical option for low-risk, short-duration tasks, although they should not automatically be your first choice.
If you or a loved one have been injured, or if you have lost a loved one, as a result of a fall when working at height, you may be entitled to claim compensation. You can email us, use our online enquiry form, or call us for free on 0800 008 7450 to discuss your claim.
