Dear Group,
I've searched the archives already for topics on working at height OH fitness assessments and found nothing although I'm sure I've seen posts on this topic over the months.
I've recently been asked to advise re: working at height and medical assessments for fitness to do so. It's something I've not done for a while so wonder if the group can help me out please?
Reading the Regulations I can't see fitness to work at height assessments as a specific legal requirement but would recommend them as best practice. Is the group in agreement?
If so, does anyone have an OH procedure, including questionnaire/assessment proforma that they would be willing to share?
I would be really grateful & thank you in advance
Kind regards
Jeannette Lount
