Health & Safety
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 want a written assessment before anyone leaves the ground. Gaffer puts one on the job — access method, maximum height, edge protection, rescue plan and the competent person — so it is done on site instead of reconstructed afterwards.
No credit card required · One platform · Web & Android (iOS coming soon)
One assessment per task, tied to the job and the site, with the controls the regulations expect.
Access method, maximum height in metres, whether edge protection is required and whether it is actually in place, rescue plan, permit reference and confirmation of a competent person.
Flag an assessment as weather-dependent and record the conditions on the day. A roof assessment signed off in still air does not cover the same task in a gale.
Every assessment carries an assessment date and a review date, so the ones that have gone stale surface before an inspector finds them.
Work at height assessments sit alongside your jobs, RAMS and permits in the same platform, so the paperwork follows the work.
It gives you the written record the regulations expect: a suitable and sufficient assessment of the task, the access method chosen, the control measures in place and the competent person who signed it off. Gaffer holds the record and the review date — you still have to do the assessment properly, but nothing is lost between the site and the office.
Yes. The Gaffer field app is offline-first, so an assessment can be completed on a roof, in a lift shaft or on a rural site with no reception. It is stored on the device and syncs automatically the moment you are back online.
Each assessment carries a review date. Ones that are due or overdue surface in your compliance view so they can be reassessed, rather than sitting in a folder until someone asks for them.
Yes. Assessments are linked to the job and the site, so when you open the job you see the assessment that covers it, and when an inspector asks about a particular property you can find it from the site record.
