You beat me to it Steve, but I'll post it anyway...

Can’t confirm or deny 6 metres I’m afraid though I know inspectors are encouraged to make their own on the spot assessments based on how they see it, which is why they’re loved so much. A fall from 6 metres would still be very bad so I think we ought to assume they’ll be strict. It’s a real jungle, eg. BS EN 361,363,354,355 and 358 cover full body harnesses, fall arrest systems, lanyards, energy absorbers and work positioning systems and since this will be a high profile job I can imagine them erring on the side of being extremely irritating. There’s also a whole raft of guidelines on erection of falsework here

I think the plan ought to be to work out the method and then get them to lay out precisely what they want, if they will. Then we can send it to the insurers. One good thing – it’ll be the same Department that was involved with the BBC.
Maybe we should employ a consultant if/when we have the money, and have done with it.
