Training that goes beyond the tick-box
Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of serious and fatal workplace injury in Ireland, year after year. The pattern is depressingly consistent for Safety Nets and Soft-Landing Systems use in Naas: a short task, a familiar setting, a ladder or platform that seemed fine, and a single moment of overreach.

The cheapest control is always to avoid the work at height in the first place. For Safety Nets and Soft-Landing Systems use in Naas, that can mean long-handled tools, lowering the task to ground level, or designing the job so no one needs to climb.
