The document discusses safety protocols for working at heights. It notes that falls are a leading cause of death in construction and outlines precautions like using guardrails, harnesses, temporary flooring and barricades when working over 1.8 meters. Proper use of ladders, scaffolding and hoists is also emphasized along with securing tools to prevent falling objects.
A Complete Guide to Working at Height Regulations by At-HeightAt-Height
"The Work at Height Regulations 2005 enlists a set of specific guidelines that aim to avert death and injury caused due to a fall from height. These guidelines have been setup specifically for the employers who either employ people to work at height or control the same.
It is the utmost responsibility of the employers and those managing the manpower to make sure that any work that is being carried out at height is well-planned, supervised and executed by competent people. This also includes making use of the right type of equipment for working at height.
This guide enlists complete regulations for companies and people involved in working at height."

This training session discusses how to avoid slips, trips, and falls in the workplace. This includes avoiding hazards on walking and working surfaces and work platforms, as well as how to avoid accidents on ladders and stairs.
Forklifts are extremely useful workplace vehicles, as long as they are used safely and appropriately by operators who are appropriately trained and competent to use them.
Forklifts can be dangerous: they account for 25% of injuries at work. Many workplace accidents involve people being hit or run over by forklift trucks (typically when the forklift is reversing) because the driver did not see them. Owing to their size and weight, injuries resulting from forklifts are generally very serious. Accidents involving them are often caused by poor supervision and a lack of training.
Always:
Wear appropriate personal protective clothing as provided by employer. Hard hat, protective footwear and high visibility clothing are recommended as a minimum when working around forklifts. Other equipment may be needed depending on the working environment
Report defects immediately to supervisor
Make sure work path is free of obstructions
Wear operator restraints, where fitted
Look all around before moving off
Look in the direction of travel
Avoid sudden stops and violent braking
Take care when driving on wet, icy , slippery or loose surfaces Slow down at corners, doorways, and at danger spots
Sound the horn several times when approaching blind corners, exits and entrances
Switch off and remove the key before leaving the forklift. Place the key in a safe location when driving task is completed
Apply the parking brake before leaving the forklift
Report any accidents or near misses to a supervisor
Park the forklift in a safe place, on level ground; never on a slope
Leave the forklift with the mast tilted forwards and the forks fully lowered, with the tips on the floor
Apply the parking brake, select neutral, switch off the engine and remove the key
Return keys or other activating devices to their place of safe-keeping
Report any malfunctions or defects immediately to a supervisor.
Assess the load before lifting. Check weight, size, load centre and security
Make sure that pallets are in good condition
Observe floor loading limits & Travel slowly when going down slopes
Find out the weight of the laden forklift
Check safe working load (SWL) of racking before placing loads onto it
Make sure load does not obstruct view. If it does, drive in reverse, looking in direction.
Make sure there is adequate clearance for the forklift and load, including overhead
Make sure the load is stable, Carry the load as close to ground as possible, Use controls smoothly & arms are fully inserted when travelling with a load
Position forks properly and as widely as possible
Make sure the fork Make sure the forklift is stopped before raising the load
Use suitable attachments for lifting unusual or wide loads
Ensure the forks face uphill when travelling up or down slopes with a load
Ensure the forks face downhill when travelling up or down slopes without a load
Adjust the tilt (where fitted) to suit the gradient and raise the forks to clear the ground
Forklifts are extremely useful workplace vehicles, as long as they are used safely and properly by operators who have been trained and are deemed competent to use them. Forklifts are dangerous: they account for 25% of injuries at work. Many workplace accidents involve people being hit or run over by forklift trucks (typically when the forklift is reversing). Forklift accidents can cause serious injury, death, property and product damage. Accidents can be prevented if risk assessment are conducted, safe work procedures are followed, regular Tool Box Talks are conducted and HSE continuous surveillance observations of work tasks are performed periodically.
Common Forklift Hazards:
• Overloading
• Unsafe Stacking
• Speeding
• Unauthorized operation of forklift
• Untrained forklift operators.
• Pedestrians and forklifts moving in the same place.
• Obstruction in the path e.g. overhead, uneven ground surfaces, blind corners etc.

SCAFFOLDING
“Long way Up, Long Way Down” is the phrase used for the most common
accident involving scaffolding. Falls from high places are usually serious. When
scaffolds are not upright or used properly, falls can occur. Protecting workers
from scaffold related accidents would prevent many deaths and more than
4,000 injuries each year.
A trained “competent person” should be used to supervise all scaffold
erections. A “competent person” must be able to take prompt action to
eliminate predictable hazards. Logically then, he/she should be within line of
site of erection, dismantling or alteration activity.
Safe Work Practices and Tips:
• Inspect all scaffolds prior to use. Use tagging system, green for “ready to use”, yellow
for “caution/use personal fall arrest”, or red for “do not use”.
• Each employee working on a scaffold must be trained by a qualified person.
• Barricade the area below the scaffold to protect from falling objects.
• Make sure of debris nets, catch platforms, screens and toe-boards to protect
employees from falling objects.
• Do not work on scaffolds outside during stormy or windy weather.
• Do not use scaffolds unless guardrails and all flooring are in place.
• Use your safety belts and lanyards when working on scaffolding at height of 10 feet
or above. Attach the lanyard to secure member of scaffold.
• Do not jump from. to. or between scaffolding.
• Keep both feet on the decking. Do not sit or climb on the guardrails.
• Level the scaffold after each move. Don't extend adjusting leg screws more than 12
inches.
• Do not use scaffold if any rope is frayed, torn or visibly damaged.
• Keep scaffold clean of scraps, loose tools, tangled lines or obstructions.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
