The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) are holding two height awareness campaigns in Scotland during June.
The first will be held on 14 June 2006 at Airdrie Football Ground from 9am to 1pm. The event will include a combination of short presentations about safe working at height and practical demonstrations of specialised access equipment for use as a safe alternative to ladders and stepladders. HSE inspectors will be available to give advice.
The event is primarily aimed at clients/principal contractors who are undertaking building maintenance/refurbishment work; although, anyone involved in managing work at height risks may benefit from attending.
If you would like more information on this free event at Airdrie Football Ground please contact Alison Farquharson on 0141 2753028 or alison.farquharson@hse.gsi.gov.uk
The second event to be held on 20 June 2006 in Hampden Stadium, Glasgow from 2pm to 5pm. This event is aimed at all non-construction workers to help them identify when they are working at height and where they may be at risk from falling.
If you would like more information on the event at Hampden Stadium, please contact Colin Mackintosh on 0141 275 3025.
