Rescue at Height

How is an injured person rescued when working at height? Will the emergency services be available in time? Is the workplace inaccessible?

What escape precautions are in place for people working at height in the event of fire or other emergency?

The Miller SafEscape emergency evacuation device offers unrivaled lifetime cost of ownership (Purchase + Training + servicing costs) see below:
The Miller SafEscape offers greater cost savings over most other manufacturers of similar emergency escape descender; the Re certification by a Miller Service Point is required only after seven years (if unused and as new condition) thanks to its robust and highly resistant components. This reduces down time and lowers the cost of ownership; in reality it saves approximately £80.00 - £100.00 per year in servicing costs + carriage costs. This also saves 'down time' while the descenders are off site being serviced and therefore no back-up systems needs to be purchased to cover this period.
To comply with the Working at Height Directive users must be adequately trained and competent in the use of their height safety equipment. Users should also comply with training requirements recommended by the original equipment manufacturer and this is where big potential cost savings can be achieved. External training is not usually necessary for all employees as the this training can be delivered by the employer (pending competence) Typically training costs from third party training companies start at £500.00 and rises to over £1000.00 per day. Most other manufacturers also recommend refresher training every couple of years - even more cost!
It's up to employer to meet <<ALL>> the requirements of working at height regs and Health and Safety regs 1974. 

Height Safety

 Personal Fall Protection Equipment from the World Leaders

"Falls from height are the most common cause of fatal injury and the second most common cause of major injury to employees, accounting for 15% of all such injuries. All industry sectors are exposed to the risks presented by this hazard although the level of incidence varies considerably.

As a result, the Health and Safety Commission have included 'Falls from Height' in their eight Priority Programmes chosen to meet the targets for the reduction in injury rates in the workplace." (extracted from www.hse.gov.uk)
