CPL Supports No Falls Week: Promoting Safer Work at Height
Raising Awareness for Safer Working at Height, No Falls Week is a vital campaign to reduce accidents from height, and CPL is proud to support it. As a trusted UK manufacturer of van-mounted access platforms and an active member of IPAF, we share the mission to ensure that everyone working at height comes down safely.
The No Falls Foundation, the UK’s only charity dedicated to the work-at-height sector, launched No Falls Week to help raise awareness, offer resources, and drive cultural change around safety at height. Whether you work in construction, telecoms, or public services, this campaign matters.
Why No Falls Week Matters
Falls from height are the leading cause of workplace deaths in the UK. According to the HSE, 50 people died from falls in 2023/24, accounting for 36% of all workplace fatalities. These numbers are not just statistics. They represent real lives, families, and communities affected by preventable accidents.
Every year, thousands of people work at height across sectors like:
Construction and roofing
Facilities management
Local authorities
Telecoms and utilities
Retail, hospitals, and offices
Even routine tasks like changing a lightbulb or retrieving items from a high shelf come with risks. That’s why No Falls Week is essential for raising awareness across all industries.
CPL’s Commitment to Safety
At CPL, we design and manufacture access platforms with safety at the heart of every build. We are proud to be:
- An IPAF member, upholding global standards in powered access safety
- A TPPL-accredited supplier, ranked #1 for access platforms in their framework
- Committed to supporting the public sector, local councils, and utility providers with trusted, UK-manufactured equipment
By supporting No Falls Week, we aim to empower customers, contractors, and operators with the tools and training they need to work safely at height.
“Every conversation and every shared reminder about safety can make a difference. No Falls Week highlights the strength of the industry coming together with one clear message: Zero falls is the goal.”
