Loads... start with:

 

"work at height" means -

 

(a) work in any place, including a place at or below ground level;

 

(b) obtaining access to or egress from such place while at work, except by a staircase in a permanent workplace,

 

 

where, if measures required by these Regulations were not taken, a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury;
