# Podcast: 31 deaths from falls 2025/26 | are your work at height procedures adequate?

 by [**Richard Melis**](https://statlog.co.uk/statlog-news-insights/author/richard-melis) on 12 Aug 2026, 07:59:59

This week’s Let’s Talk Premises asks:

Do you need a new working-at-height risk assessment every time, or can an existing one be used again?

We look at when a review is enough and when the task, site or equipment means starting afresh.
