What is a rescue plan for working at height?

A rescue plan for working at height is a document which details any risks of work at height, as well as how you will address those risks. When you carry out your risk assessment and find a danger, you'll need to make a plan for any steps you could take to rescue your workers from that danger.

A work at height rescue plan is essential for all companies, businesses and workplaces where employees work at height. Employees are working at height if they: 

• work above ground or floor level.
• could fall from an edge, opening or surface.
• could fall from ground level into an opening or hole in the ground.
