At Park City, we are committed to being industry leaders in health and safety compliance services, constantly striving to stay ahead of trends and initiatives that promote a safer workplace. That’s why we are proud to support No Falls Week 2024, a vital campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of safe working at height.
No Falls Week, taking place from the 13th to the 17th of May, has a simple yet crucial mission: to equip workers across various sectors with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration to prevent falls and ensure everyone working at height comes down safely. Whether you’re in construction, manufacturing, agriculture, or any other industry, this campaign is for you.
The statistics regarding falls from height in the UK are alarming. According to the latest figures from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), 40 people lost their lives due to falls from height in the 2022-2023 period, accounting for 30% of all workplace deaths. These tragedies highlight the urgent need for increased awareness and preventative measures in the workplace.
No Falls Foundation, the first and only UK-based charity devoted exclusively to the work at height sector, organises No Falls Week. At Park City, we believe that raising awareness is just the first step. That’s why we urge you to join us in promoting No Falls Week within your businesses. One key aspect of preventing workplace accidents, including falls from height, is ensuring that your leaders and managers are equipped with the necessary training and knowledge.
This is where our IOSH Managing Safely and IOSH Leading Safely training programs can provide a significant benefit. These courses are designed to empower leaders and managers with the skills to identify and mitigate risks, prioritise safety, and create a culture of responsibility and accountability within their teams. Businesses can supplement these courses by adding our working at a height training course to add further awareness and knowledge.
