Get Inspired
Hear from just some of the organisations who have taken part in No Falls Week and what activities they did to get involved…
“No Falls Week was an excellent opportunity for us as a business to take time out to discuss and highlight the risks associated with working at height.
Using a range of methods, we spread the word across the business and had some thought-provoking demonstrations and seminars. Engagement across the business enabled us to highlight the devastating effects of poor work practices and inadequate risk assessments for work at height.
We look forward to taking part again next year to continue to highlight No Falls Week and all the benefits of taking the time to stop and think.”

Merkland Tank were delighted to support the ‘No Falls Week’ safe work at height campaign in 2024, and are signed up to support the campaign again in 2025.
“We fully embraced the campaign to deliver a series of toolbox talks on safe mobile tower use, ladder safety, and pre-use checks of fall arrest blocks and harnesses.
We rounded the week off by getting our operatives together to test their tower knowledge with PASMA’s range of interactive online quizzes. The whole week really motivated the team to reinforce safe work at height practices.”
Thomas Hopkins – HSE & Compliance Manager
“We were delighted with the response and engagement from our team to the No Falls Week campaign. They have truly embraced the importance of the message, and they’ve been active in spreading the word.
Thank you to the No Falls Foundation for highlighting this vital issue and making available a wide range of collateral that we will continue to display long after this week’s campaign is finished.”
