A significant aspect of starting the Test & Research Centre, was to use the ongoing experience of the centre to gain new insights into the root causes of falls from height.
Falls from height continue to be a major cause of deaths in the workplace, as recent Health & Safety Executive statistics highlight. The UK has an excellent record on safety, but there are still too many people who never return home to their loved ones, due to a fall from height.
The Test & Research Centre plans to use its industry knowledge, product testing and facilities, to gain new insights into why people continue to suffer from falls from height.
