What is a work at height rescue plan?

A work at height rescue plan is a document which details any risks of work at height, as well as how you will address those risks. When an employer carries out a risk assessment and finds a danger, they will need to make a rescue plan for any steps to save workers from that danger. If you are an employer in an industry like construction, you will probably need a work at height rescue plan. This is often made with a working at height rescue plan template.

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:

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