Committed to advancing safety and
best practice in the work at height
sector, member organisations of the
Access Industry Forum (AIF) – a
forum for all the principal trade
associations and federations involved
in work at height – have produced
seven new Toolbox Talks.

Offering advice and guidance, they
can be viewed free online at: www.

accessindustryforum.org.uk/vtt.htm.

With a running time of about
10min, and with a short online
questionnaire to assess understanding,
the free videos have been described by
the HSE as An innovative way of
getting key messages and guidance
about how to work at height safely
over to a wider audience’.

The videos, (16 in total), include:
NASC: Explaining scaffold handover
certificates and scaffold inspections;
PASMA: Fall protection in mobile
access towers
Ladder Association: Using stepladders
and step stools
IPAF: The dangers of not using
spreader pads with outriggers.

Visitors to the website can also
watch debates and discussions
addressing a range of health and safety
issues. Contributors include senior
representatives from the Association
for Project Safety, British Safety
Council, HSE, IOSH and UKCG.
