No Falls Week is an annual campaign that aims to raise awareness of safe working at height practices. Organised by the No Falls Foundation, this week-long event encourages employers, workers and safety professionals to think carefully about fall risks and take practical steps to prevent falls in the workplace.
No Falls Week is now in its third year. Since launching in 2024, the campaign has helped to keep height safety squarely in the spotlight, reminding businesses across all sectors that falls from height are preventable when work is properly planned, closely supervised, and carried out using the right equipment.
No Falls Week 2026 is scheduled for Monday 18th – Friday 22nd May. Read on to learn more!

Fall restraint and fall arrest are two different approaches to working at height safely. Fall restraint is all about preventing the worker from reaching a position where a fall could happen, whereas fall arrest focuses on catching the worker mid-fall, stopping them before they hit the ground.
