As No Falls Week draws to a close, a timely reminder on the importance of Working at Height training
As No Falls Week 2025 wraps up, we’re taking a moment to reflect on a serious and ongoing issue: falls from height remain the leading cause of workplace fatalities in Great Britain. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), 50 workers lost their lives due to falls from height between 2023 and 2024. That figure underscores why the right training is not just valuable — it’s critical.
What is No Falls Week?
Led by the No Falls Foundation, No Falls Week is an annual campaign aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of working at height and promoting safer practices across all sectors. Whether it’s farming, construction, maintenance, or arboriculture — anyone working above ground level needs to know the risks, and how to manage them.
At Newlands Training, we fully support this initiative. We offer Working at Height Awareness Training to help businesses stay compliant, reduce risk, and, most importantly, keep their people safe.
