That Health & Safety Executive legislation now requires that

"Colin Wilson" wrote in message t... That Health & Safety Executive legislation now requires that ANYONE who can potentially fall more than 2metres whilst working should be provided with and use a fall arrest protection system! I think it depends on how long they`re expecting to work at height. ISTR anything less than 15 minutes doesn`t fall under this legislation (no pun intended) Why is 15 minutes different from 16 minutes? Or 14 minutes?

This worries me... I have an existing window, single glazed sash, that's pretty old & the sashes are in pretty bad nick, but the frame oitself is fine. The fram does have a problem in that it's been pushed back into the room by about 30mm and needs reseating... If I do the work myself, remove the window frame, clean up the brickwork, put it all back with new double glazed sashes (From copycat), do I need to get it certified? (The house itself is 1890's and the sash certainly looks old enough to be original). TIA Hamish. Owain |

Nope that would be outside the regs since it would count as a repair rather than a replacement. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

In that case I'll proceed... I wonder how much of the original you need before a repair turns into a replacement  [No, it's a repair, because the sash cord is original, I just replaced the rest ] |
