[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 637714, member: 323322"] The Work At Height Regs don't forbid installing Dishes at considerable height, they simply require suitable and appropriate safety precautions to be taken. That generally means it is more expensive for them in terms of manpower and equipment. Sky could handle it if they were minded to, and they do have teams trained so to do. But they do have a restrictive Policy, nevertheless. I worked in H&S Enforcement for many years and can tell you that "the rules" are often misinterpreted as a "get out clause". Sometimes through lack of understanding, but also due to disinclination (ie Deliberate misrepresentation and obfuscation to apparently excuse lack of action!). [/QUOTE]
