I think it is logical to assume that  everyone knows working at elevated heights can be dangerous. It is not the fall, but the sudden cease that inflicts serious bodily injury or death, and clearly; no employer or worker desires this. No worker deserves to be seriously injured or killed while merely trying to support his or her relatives. legal recruitments

A law regarding the use of a mobile access platform and training was established on 6 April 2005 that applies to any and all work where there is a risk of injury due to a fall at heights over two meters. This law was amended two years later to cover "the training and leadership" of personnel who will be working at heights.

Properly conducting access platform training and by using a well maintained and correctly functioning mobile access platform are factors in helping keep workers safe.
