Construction company Bluestone has launched a national campaign to help reduce the number of people falling to death at work.

Falls from ladders and scaffolding are the UK's single biggest cause of workplace deaths and the second major cause of serious injuries.

Now Bluestone, based in Preston Road, Brighton is giving out free advice to employees and sub-contractors about the dangers of working at height.

In the construction industry, 50 to 60 workers are killed each year as a result of falls and 4,000 are seriously injured.

Bluestone's health and safety director Dave Thompson said: "Employers have a duty to ensure their employees have thought through their actions when working at height."
