High impact - 2006 - Contract Journal 434(6582) 5 July 2006, 22-23(2) .

Assesses the impact on the construction industry of the first 12 months of the Work at Height Regulations 2005. The year has seen a significant increase in demand for training, together with a focus on the development and dissemination of practical information. Fears have been expressed that cost pressures are preventing best practice being adopted on site, particularly in the informal sector, mainly comprising small companies. There is also a need to make designers and those at the top of the construction chain more aware of the Regulations.
