WORK AT HEIGHT SAFETY MOMENT

Working at height or height work remains one of the biggest causes of fatalities and major injuries in every industry. Common cases include falls from roofs, ladders, and through fragile surfaces.

‘Work at height’ means work in any place where, if there were no precautions in place, a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury (for example a fall through a fragile roof down an unprotected lift shaft, stairwells, fall from ladder etc).

Control measures

We should first assess the risks. Factors to weigh up include the height of the task, the duration and frequency, and the condition of the surface being worked on etc.

Before working at height we should work through these simple steps:

Avoid work at height/height work where it’s reasonably practicable to do so;

Where work at height cannot be easily avoided, prevent falls using either an existing place of work that is already safe or the right type of equipment. Think of Fall Prevention & Protection.

Minimize the distance and consequences of a fall, by using the right type of equipment where the risk cannot be eliminated.

Apply hierarchy of control for the best results.
