Working at Height Assessment
Working at height assessments are designed to screen employees who work at height, in order to identify any potential health problems
that may impair their fitness to work in such environments.

Why conduct Working at Height assessments?
Under the Working at Height regulations (as amended)
2005 there is a legal requirement on employers to ensure that those employees who work at height are fit to do so. COPE can assist you
in meeting these requirements.
Why choose COPE to carry out your Working at Height assessments?
COPE will always provide a fully qualified and competent health practitioner to conduct the working at height assessment on your employees.
We can arrange either individual appointments at our Nottingham Clinic or we can visit your site to provide “in-house” testing
sessions. We can also combine this testing with your other health
surveillance and/or fitness for work assessments
needs if required.
The assessment will include a paper/online questionnaire, which will be reviewed by a fully trained and competent practitioner, followed by
an assessment of the employee’s health as per accepted medical standards.
Employees undergoing these assessments will require periodic reviews, the frequency of which will depend on risk, clinical need and
HSE guidelines.
Some employees that are identified as having new or worsening symptoms may require referral to our Occupational Health Physician.
