Working at height: what the rules require

Falls from height are a well-known workplace hazard. This page points to the official rules we cite, a free course already on this site, and the $1 toolbox-talk library.

In the United States, fall protection for construction is set out in OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart M. In Great Britain, work at height is covered by the Work at Height Regulations 2005, with practical guidance on the HSE work-at-height pages. Those texts apply in their own jurisdictions; they are not Moroccan law, and this page does not replace them.

The free course on this site walks through the principles of working at height and fall protection. It is independent training. The $3 certificate of completion, if you choose to buy it after the final check, is not an OSHA, HSE or other official licence.
