4.2.7.1 As a result of the European Council (EC) Directive 2001/45/EC concerning minimum safety and health requirements for the use of equipment for work at height (known as the Temporary Work at Height Directive or TWAHD), a major change was made to UK legislation by the introduction of the Work at Height Regulations 2005. These regulations consolidated previous UK legislation on working at height and added further requirements. The regulations were amended in 2007 to take account of professionals working in the climbing, mountaineering and caving arenas.4.2.7.2 The Work at Height Regulations 2005 (WAHR), including its 2007 amendment, apply to all work at height where there is a risk of a fall liable to cause personal injury. This applies above, at or below ground level. The regulations place duties on employers, the self-employed, and any person that controls the work of others to the extent of their control (e.g. facilities managers or building owners who may contract others to work at height).
