The HSE should really stop people working at height when the wind speed reaches about 30/35 knots.

bleeding hell hswt.if the HSE were to implement all seasons weather we would not get any work completed m8.To hot to work+To cold to work+To rainy +To windy sometimes we have to make good in the situation we are in as long as we do it in a safe manner and obey all rules and regs.
 
I would agree with that John. Risk assess everything and you shouldn't go too far wrong. We have been getting average speeds of 60mph where we have been working, if anything were to go wrong you would be for the high jump but it is in a sheltered housing scheme so in reality it isn't a problem. I have always felt it is more to do with direction than speed.

Its all down to common sense.
 
Exactly, the method for erecting has changed over the years to such a level even if you were suicidal you couldn't jump of a job.

You can't put too much emphasis on peoples health and safety.
Work at height stops with winds at 26 knots here and obviously when temps push up to 50 C with high humidity.
