The Stop the Drop initiative was created by a cross-association working group (AEV, AEO, ESSA) in response to concerns raised by the HSE. Its purpose is simple: to promote safe working at height practices during event build-up and breakdown using the right equipment.
Working at height is a common activity when building and dismantling an event and:-
Unsafe practices put both workers and nearby colleagues at risk.
-
Falls from height can cause serious or even fatal injuries.
Accidents are avoidable. With careful planning, the right equipment, and safe working methods, risks can be eliminated. A sensible approach should always be taken when considering working at height.

-
Posters to raise awareness
