UK - By now most PLASA members will be aware of the imminent introduction of the Working at Heights Regulations (WAHR), currently in what is expected to be the final consultation draft. The Regulations are set to become law in July this year, and any activity in which an injury could occur as the result of a fall from any height, will need to comply with this new set of Regulations.

PLASA has arranged a one-day seminar to examine the new legislation in detail and discuss the compliance issues that may cause the Industry concern in the future. PLASA intends to collate any views and comments from the seminar and respond on behalf of the PLASA membership to Government.

The seminar will be held at the NEC in Birmingham on the 10 of February 2004 starting at 10am. Ron Bonner, PLASA's technical standards manager, will present the Regulations in their entirety and invite discussion, views and comments from all those attending. The seminar will be free to PLASA members and £30.00 to non-members. Light refreshments will be served during the day.

Over 50 registrations have already been received from PLASA members for this event, and numbers are limited to a maximum of 100. If you would like to attend, please reserve your place as soon as possible, either by telephoning the Standards office on +44 (0)1323 410335 or by e-mailing Ron Bonner at the e-mail address below.
