What is classed as a fall from height?

A fall from height generally means a fall from one level to another. This could be if you are working above ground level and fall from an edge that isn’t secure or through an opening or fragile surface, or if you fall from ground level into a hole in the ground or an opening in the floor. Falls from height can also include falls from ladders, scaffolding or other machinery which elevates someone above ground level.
