The same principle applies to working at height aswell as falls from height, which can occur when demolition work is being carried out. Imagine that the working at height is dangerous enough (have a look over our previous blog posts on this) but accidents can always occur when demolition work is being carried out as edges and partially demolished floors are also present.
There is a potential for a personal injury claim when working at height as a fall can be fatal and cause problems. This is where the duty holder has the responsibility to assess, eliminate and control the risks of workers falling from height.
Surfaces that were once secure and solid may be damaged and become fragile, during demolition. It is essential for this to be assessed and confirmed so workers can confidently walk around the construction site.
