Safety Moment PDO Latest Fall from Height Incident The Basics Working @ Height

Safety Moment-Basic WAH Check there is a safe method of getting to and from the work area. Decide what particular equipment will be suitable for the job and the conditions on site. Make sure work platforms and any edges from which people are likely to fall have suitable guardrails, toe boards or other barriers (CAN STOP and are DESIGNED TO STOP A PERSON FALLING). Make sure that the equipment needed is delivered to site in good time and that the site has been prepared for it, Check that the equipment is in good condition. Make sure that whoever puts the equipment together is trained and knows what they are doing (Scaffold to be Tagged). Make sure that those who use the equipment are supervised so that they use it properly. The more specialised the equipment (e.g. scissor lift equipment), the greater the degree of training and supervision required to ensure safety. Check any equipment provided by another company to make sure it is safe before using it on site.
