Structural Surveys

The second part of a structural survey comes in the form of a more general height safety assessment on your site. Here full compliance with a broad range of working at height regulations are considered – both from a general perspective but also for system-specific regulations as relevant to the systems you have installed at your site.

Some of the more general regulations we’ll assess your site for compliance with include:

• The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER 1998) – these regulations are concerned with ensuring the height safety equipment you use is suitable, fit for purposes, safe and well-maintained. It also places the onus on you as the site or building owner to ensure your workers are trained to use those systems in its proper manner.
• Working at Height Regulations (2005) – the main concern with these regulations is that injuries and fatalities are prevented when a worker is carrying out tasks at height. It makes clear the systems used to prevent falls and accidents should be suitable, safe and stable. 

We can assess your site for its compliance with these broader regulations to ensure compliance, both by assessing your height safety equipment, but also your operatives knowledge and understanding of those systems. Any gaps will be identified and presented to you on site, helping you understand the key areas for improvement at your site.

You should see our structural survey as a preventative measure – something a responsible site owner should employ annually to protect workers and ensure maximum safety on site. Work with us and we’ll ensure your dedicated account manager explains what we’ll do, why it’s necessary and any next steps identified by our experienced engineers – giving you complete peace of mind and marking you out as a responsible employer and site owner.
