Access equipment is often required when performing tasks such as changing a light bulb, standing on a hop-up, or working on a scaffold. These tasks are all categorised as working at height, not just the measured distance a person is from a floor.

Therefore, regardless of the distance, if there is a risk of personal injury due to falling, it's considered working at height.
