Construction Safety Training_Session 05_Access Equipment and Fall ProtectionMuizz Anibire
Learning Objectives
Identify types of access equipment used in the construction industry.
Identify hazards associated with the use of access equipment.
Describe safety controls and precautions in the use of access equipment.
Describe fall arrest systems used for work at height.
Arrangements for management of the different conditions brought about by night works or what assessments will be undertaken to ensure this can be conducted safely. Detail should also include shift patterns and management of worker fatigue.
Working at night poses a serious safety risk for
highway & construction workers. Those who work
at night are at a higher risk for injury because of:
• Reduced visibility for Equipment and other
vehicle drivers.
• Reduced visibility for workers.
• Lack of communication between shifts
• Increased number of impaired or drowsy drivers
• Sleep deprivation for workers

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Introduction
The purpose of this document is define procedures and arrangements for working at height and fall
prevention.
2. Scope
With the nature of the work, working at height is not significant. If in case it will be required, all work
at height is to be properly planned and organized and those involved in work at height must be trained
and competent.
The scope of this plan covers the fall prevention and protection measures to be implemented in C38
District, EXPO2020. It will be applicable to all “XYZ” staffs, workers and visitors including
subcontractors working within the boundary of the project.
3. Revisions
The Working at Heights and Fall Protection Plan is a ‘live’ document and will be reviewed no less than
quarterly or whenever changes take place.
4. General Requirement
All working at height must be:
Properly planned and organized, including planning for emergencies and rescue.
Assessed for risks using the hierarchy of control measures.
Appropriately supervised.
Done in a way that is, as far as reasonably practicable, safe.
Always done by competent people including managers and supervisors, who are
appropriately trained and supervised.
Done using appropriate equipment that is regularly inspected and maintained.
5. Permit to Work
Due to the high-risk nature of working at height, in addition to method statements and risk
assessments the use of working at height permits for high risk works such as roof access, working
from lifelines, excavation, etc. will be required.
4. LOGO

Date Issued: Feb 6, 2019 Revision No.: 0
Page 4 of 23
6. Hierarchy of Control
All working at height must be challenged in accordance with the following hierarchy of control:
• Avoid the need to work at height, for example by using extending equipment from the ground.
• Prevent falls using appropriate access equipment such as work platforms or rope access.
• Reduce the distance and consequences of a fall should one occur.
Collective measures must be used over other measures to prevent falls, such as mobile elevating
work platforms (MEWPs) because other measures may only mitigate the distance and consequences
of a fall (such as fall protection systems) or may only provide personal protection from a fall.
Any selection of equipment for working at height must take account of:
• The working conditions and the risks to the safety of persons at the place where the work
equipment is to be used.
• In the case of work equipment for access and egress, the distance to be negotiated.
• The distance and consequences of a potential fall.
• The duration and frequency of use.
• The need for easy and timely evacuation and rescue in an emergency.
• Any additional risk posed by the use, installation or removal of that work equipment or by
evacuation and rescue from it.
7. Working at Height Requirement
This activity is not significant for the project, however MEWPs are to be used if possible in preference
to all other methods, provided that a suitable operating base is available. The nature of the base must
be determined prior to any operation taking place. MEWPs shall be fitted with secondary anti-
entrapment protective devices to prevent crushing such as cages, pressure bars and alarms.
8. Perimeter and Edge Protection Standards
Where operatives are working at leading edges, distance barriers are to be erected with appropriate
signage to protect other operatives. Leading edge operatives must be provided with suitable fall
restraint or fall protection/fall arrest arrangements.
All excavations where a person or materials can fall will be protected by barriers or A-frame scaffolds.
9. Vertical Access
5. LOGO
Working at Heights and Fall Prevention Plan
Date Issued: Feb 6, 2019 Revision No.: 0
Page 5 of 23
Access to general work area including excavations will be provided by the full permanent solution
wherever possible. Where this is not possible, temporary staircases of adequate width and complete
with handrails are to be provided by the contractor.
All staircases permanent/or temporary will be provided and protected in accordance with the following
minimum standards:
• Have permanent handrails installed at both sides to provide protection during construction.
• Have regularly spaced risers not exceeding 200 cm.
• Have top guardrails at a minimum height of approximately 100 cm, with intermediate rails fitted to
prevent excessive gaps.
• Have landing platforms protected with appropriate and suitable collective edge protection.
• On metal staircases, all temporary guardrails must be installed before the stairs are erected or
put into position.
• Where temporary guardrails are provided during construction, these will be located and fixed in a
manner, which allows the permanent protection to be installed prior to removal of the temporary
protection.
• Have sufficient lighting so as to provide a uniform lighting level throughout and to prevent
shadows/dark areas. Stairwell access within buildings must also provide suitable 3-hour battery
powered emergency lighting.
• Where temporary protection is provided, be inspected prior to use and after alteration, repair,
adverse weather (external) or periods of use in excess of seven days. Inspections will be
conducted by a competent person and a record kept.
10. Access Equipment Requirements
The following requirements apply to all access equipment including scaffolding, Mobile Elevating
Working Platforms, Mobile Towers and Podiums, Access Steps, Ladders etc.:
All access equipment must be stable with sound footings, wheels locked (where fitted) and
tied into the structure where specification or design requires, or where height/base ratio is
greater than 3:1.
General and emergency access routes must be clearly defined, signed, barricaded and lit
paying particular attention to emergency routes.
Access equipment shall be selected in accordance with the working at height hierarchy.
All equipment shall be erected/installed/altered/dismantled by a competent person who is
trained in the use of the specific system or equipment in line with the manufacturers
specifications.
Where equipment is provided in way of working platforms or temporary access is required
between floors, this shall be by staircase wherever possible. Selection of any other equipment
must be covered by risk assessment then installed in line with best practice, such as ladders
secured, 1 m above level, cleaned, and maintained.

working platform before moving the scaffold.
13. Work at Height General Precautions
Wherever possible, work at height (e.g. more than 1.8m above the floor level) is to be avoided. If this
is not practicable, all work at height is to be properly planned and organized and those involved in
work at height must be internally trained and competent. The place where work at height is done must
be safe.
Falling of persons from height must be eliminated by the use of robust edge protection or personal
protective equipment. The responsible engineer must ensure that all workers/visitors under his control
are protected from falling at all times.
Fall protection compliance is mandatory for all work activity above 1.8 meters work activity where the
potential for falling is evident.
Employee working at a level which is 2m or more above lower level shall be provided with safety
harness and shock absorbing lanyard to protect them from fall hazards.
Exceptions for the following locations only:
Permanent walkways fully enclosed with guard rail;
Approved and tagged scaffold fully guard railed;

15. Personal Fall Arrest System
LIFELINE SYSTEM
A Lifeline is a length of synthetic fibre or steel wire attached to an independent point of anchorage. A
lifeline is typically used in conjunction with a body harness, lanyard, or deceleration device. There are two
types of lifelines. 1. Horizontal lifeline 2. Vertical lifeline.
HORIZONTAL LIFELINE:
Horizontal lifelines may, depending on their geometry and angle of sag, be subjected to greater loads
than the impact load imposed by an attached component. When the angle of horizontal lifeline sag is less
than 30 degrees, the impact force imparted to the lifeline by an attached lanyard is greatly amplified.
For example, with a sag angle of 15 degrees, the force amplification is about 2:1 and at 5 degrees sag, it
is about 6:1. Depending on the angle of sag, and the line’s elasticity, the strength of the horizontal lifeline
and the anchorages to which it is attached shall be increased a number of times over that of the lanyard.
Extreme care shall be taken in considering a horizontal lifeline for multiple tie-offs. The reason for this is
that in multiple tie-offs to a horizontal lifeline, if one employee falls, the movement of the falling employee
and the horizontal lifeline during arrest of the fall may cause
other employees to fall also. Horizontal lifeline and anchorage
strength shall be increased for each additional employee to be
tied off. For these and other reasons, the design of systems
using horizontal lifelines must only be done by qualified
persons. Testing of installed lifelines and anchors prior to use
is recommended.
Horizontal lifelines shall be designed, installed, and used under
the supervision of a qualified person.
The safety factor for the horizontal lifeline shall be minimum
Lifeline shall have a minimum breaking strength of 2275 kg /
(5000 pounds)
Lifeline shall be secured above the point of operation to an
anchorage or structural member
Lifeline shall be protected against being cut or abraded.
16. LOGO
Working at Heights and Fall Prevention Plan
Date Issued: Feb 6, 2019 Revision No.: 0
Page 16 of 23
Lifeline shall be a minimum of 3/4" wire core rope.
Work areas where the lifeline may be subjected to
cutting or abrasion then it shall be a minimum of
7/8" wire core rope.
The elevation of the lifeline at any point is at least
1 meter above the working surface
The height of the anchorage point should not be
less than 5 m (18.5 feet) from the ground level,
Not more than three workers are secured to the
lifeline in a single span.
VERTICAL LIFELINE
Vertical lifeline shall be used in a ladder to
descending / ascending heights
Vertical lifeline shall be fixed in a rigid point at the top and bottom
Vertical lifeline shall have a minimum breaking strength of 2275 kg / (5000 pounds)
Rope grab shall be available always with the vertical lifeline
The length of the lifeline above the centerline of the grabbing mechanism to the lifeline's anchorage point
shall not exceed 0.61 meters.
Each employee shall be attached to a separate lifeline
Lifeline shall be protected against sharp and cutting edges
Connectors in the lifeline shall be drop forged, pressed or formed steel, or made of equivalent materials.
Connectors shall have a corrosion – resistant finish, and all surfaces and edges shall be smooth.
ANCHORAGE POINT
Anchorage point means a secure point of attachment for lifelines, lanyards, or deceleration devices, ans
which is independent of the means of supporting or suspending the employee.
Anchorage point used for attachment of personal fall arrest equipment shall be independent of any
anchorage being used to support.
Fall clearance shall be ensured from the anchorage point.
Anchorage point shall be capable of supporting at least 2275 kg / (5000 pounds) Kg per
employee attached
Anchorage point shall limit maximum arresting force on an employee to 800 Kg when used with a
body harness

Anchorage point shall be rigid and shall not have a deflection greater than 1 mm when a force of
1000 Kg is applied.
Anchorage point shall have sufficient strength to withstand twice the potential impact energy of an
employee free falling distance of 1.8 Meters
Anchorage point shall be as directed above the employee as possible to prevent swing fall
hazards.
Steel beam, girders and purlins shall not be used as an anchorage point for a fall arrest system
unless it is certified by a qualified person.
Guard rails, ladders, scaffolds, conduits and light fixtures shall not be used as an anchor point.
No more than 3 workers may be secured to the horizontal lifeline. The horizontal lifeline must be
positioned so it does not impede the safe movement of workers.
16. Work at Height Personal Protective Equipment
When working at an elevation of 1.8 meters (six feet) or more aboveground, grade, floor, or approved
work surfaces such as platforms and scaffolds, or when working in an area where a fall potential of
greater than 1.8 meters exists, employees will utilize a full-body harness with two lanyards and shock
absorbing unit and proper means of attachment.
If traversing at an elevation, employees must be tied off at all times, which requires utilizing either two
(2) independent shock-absorbing lanyards or a dual (Y) lanyard with a shock absorbing device.
FULL-BODY HARNESS
Full-body harnesses meeting ANSI will be provided (American National Standards Institute). Safety
belts are NOT allowed.
Standard full-body harnesses are not designed for a combined personnel and tool weight in excess
of 137 kilograms (three hundred pounds). Personnel weighing more than 137 kilograms, with tools,
must consult the Project/Site Safety Representative prior to using fall-arresting equipment.
The body full body harness shall be equipped with two shock absorbing lanyards.
LANYARDS
Lanyards must meet the following requirements:
Maximum length of a lanyard is 1.8 meters (6 feet) in length, and be equipped with self-locking hooks
on each end.
The lanyards must be equipped with shock absorber.
Snap hooks must be of a double-locking design to prevent accidental disengagement. When not in
use, the lanyards must be secured and attached to the harness to prevent tripping or snagging.
The lanyards must not be dragged.
18. LOGO
Working at Heights and Fall Prevention Plan
Date Issued: Feb 6, 2019 Revision No.: 0
Page 18 of 23
The lanyards must not be hooked back into itself unless designed for that purpose.
Knots must not be tied in a lanyard. This will reduce the strength of the lanyard.
ANCHOR POINTS
Anchor points may be an existing structure, a pipe, or a temporary or permanent engineered device
such as an installed eyebolt, slide rail, or cable arrangement (e.g., static line). These anchor points
must be inspected daily prior to use, by a qualified inspector. Engineered anchor points must be
inspected by a competent person.
Anchor points for lanyards/harnesses and vertical lifelines must meet the following requirements:
Safely support one person falling 1.8 meters (6 feet);
Be installed in a manner that prevents accidental disengagement from support structures;
Be inspected by a competent person on a periodic basis;
Be placed where attachment and detachment can be done without causing loss of balance;
Be placed above shoulder height to reduce fall distance
Be free of sharp edges to avoid cutting the lanyard.
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LIFELINES
Horizontal lifelines must be installed and used according to manufacturer’s specifications. The
following guidelines should also be followed:
Softeners must be used where lifelines contact sharp edges, such as beam flanges.
Temporary lifelines must be removed at the completion of a job.
Anchor points, connectors, and other system components must be capable of safely supporting one
(1) person falling 1.8 meters (6 feet).
A vertical lifeline shall be used by only one (1) person at a time.
17.EMERGENCYPROCEDURES
Purpose of Working at Heights Rescues
When a worker falls and is suspended in a harness, it’s important to rescue him or her as quickly as
possible because of the following reasons:
The worker may have suffered injuries during the fall and may need medical attention.
When workers are suspended in their safety harnesses for long periods, they may suffer from
blood pooling in the lower body. This can lead to suspension trauma.
Suspended workers may panic if they are not rescued quickly.
The event that led to the fall may create additional risks that need to be addressed.
Emergency Planning
19. LOGO
Working at Heights and Fall Prevention Plan
Date Issued: Feb 6, 2019 Revision No.: 0
Page 19 of 23
The three main parts of emergency planning are:
1) Training
2) Creating an emergency plan
3) Outlining rescue procedures.
1) Training
All site personnel must attend a site-specific safety training session where they will
review emergency response procedures and receive instruction on alarms and
assembly areas.
Train a designated crew to perform the rescue. This crew must know how to use the
equipment that is available to them at the jobsite and where they can find it. They
should review the rescue procedure every two weeks with the crane crews.
2) Emergency Response Plan
If a worker falls and is suspended by a safety harness, implement the emergency
response plan by following the steps below.
The site supervisor of the area/ zone (or alternate personnel) should
immediately notify the safety in-charge of the area (or anybody from HSE
Department) and take control of the situation. Emergency response team which
includes first aiders should also be notified immediately.
All workers in the immediate vicinity of the incident stop working. The site
supervisor and safety staff quickly evaluates the situation and identifies any
further hazards that could arise.
The crane operator remains on standby. The operator frees the hook and waits
for further direction in case the designated rescue team must perform a basket
rescue.
The site supervisor and safety staff (or personnel assigned to the task) isolates
the accident zone and its perimeter to limit further exposure.
The site supervisor and safety staff (or personnel assigned to the task) moves
all non-affected personnel to a safe zone or directs them to remain where they
are.
20. LOGO
Working at Heights and Fall Prevention Plan
Date Issued: Feb 6, 2019 Revision No.: 0
Page 20 of 23
The site supervisor and safety staff sends a designated person to the main
entrance to site to meet the response team (police, medical, fire, etc.) and
ensure that they have a safe access path to the accident scene.
The site supervisor and safety staff assembles the emergency rescue team at
the accident site as quickly as possible to determine the best rescue procedure
for the situation.
3) Rescue Procedures
The following rescue procedures are ordered (A) through (D), with (A) being the
preferred method and (D) being the method used when there is no other means of
rescue.
A. Mobile Elevating Work Platform Rescue—If a mobile elevating work platform
(MEWP) is available on site and the suspended worker can be reached by the
platform, follow the procedure below.
1. Bring the MEWP to the accident site and use it to reach the suspended worker.
2. Ensure that rescue workers are wearing full-body harnesses attached to
appropriate anchors in the MEWP.
3. Ensure that the MEWP has the load capacity for both the rescuer(s) and the
fallen worker. If the fallen worker is not conscious, two rescuers will probably be
needed to safely handle the weight of the fallen worker.
4. Position the MEWP platform below the worker and disconnect the worker’s
lanyard when it is safe to do so. When the worker is safely on the MEWP,
reattach the lanyard to an appropriate anchor point on the MEWP if possible.
5. Lower the worker to a safe location and administer first aid. Treat the worker for
suspension trauma and any other injury.
6. Arrange transportation to hospital if required.
B. Ladder Rescue—if an elevating work platform is not available, use ladders to rescue
the fallen worker with the procedure outlined below.
1. If the fallen worker is suspended from a lifeline, move the worker (if possible) to
an area that rescuers can access safely with a ladder.
2. Set up the appropriate ladder(s) to reach the fallen worker.
3. Rig separate lifelines for rescuers to use while carrying out the rescue from the
ladder(s).
4. If the fallen worker is not conscious or cannot reliably help with the rescue, at
least two rescuers may be needed.
21. LOGO
Working at Heights and Fall Prevention Plan
Date Issued: Feb 6, 2019 Revision No.: 0
Page 21 of 23
5. If the fallen worker is suspended directly from a lanyard or a lifeline, securely
attach a separate lowering line to the harness.
6. Other rescuers on the ground (or closest work surface) should lower the fallen
worker while the rescuer on the ladder guides the fallen worker to the ground
(or work surface).
7. Once the fallen worker has been brought to a safe location, administer first aid
and treat the person for suspension trauma and any other injury.
8. Arrange transportation to hospital if required.
C. Rescue from Work Area or Floor Below—if the fallen worker is suspended near a
work area and can be safely reached from the floor below or the area from which
they fell, use the following procedure.
1. Ensure that rescuers are protected against falling.
2. If possible, securely attach a second line to the fallen worker’s harness to help
rescuers pull the fallen worker to a safe area. You will need at least two strong
workers to pull someone up to the level from which they fell.
3. Take up any slack in the retrieving line to avoid slippage.
4. Once the worker has been brought to a safe location, administer first aid and
treat the person for suspension trauma and any other injury.
5. Arrange transportation to hospital if required.
D. Man basket Rescue—if a worker has fallen and is suspended in an inaccessible
area, you may need to perform a man basket rescue.
For basket rescues, the basket must be designed in accordance with good
manufacturing processes to withstand all loads to which it may be subjected. It must be
kept on site at all times in an accessible location where it is clear of material or other
equipment. Fit the rescue man basket with appropriate rigging for quick hookup by the
crane operator.
To perform a basket rescue, follow the steps below.
1. Make sure preferred methods A, B, and C are not possible.
2. Notify the crane operator right away to position the crane to attach the basket.
3. While the basket is being attached, the crew leader checks that all safety
rigging is done and all the required safety equipment is available.
4. With two rescuers in the basket, hoist it to a position that is above and as close
as possible to the fallen worker. A designated worker on the ground guides the
22. LOGO

Date Issued: Feb 6, 2019 Revision No.: 0
Page 22 of 23
basket with a tag line. The designated worker must make sure that when the
rescue basket reaches the right elevation, the door of the basket is facing the
structural steel to provide an easy exit for rescuer #1.
5. Rescuer #1 exits the rescue basket and gets into a position to reach the fallen
worker. When doing this, rescuer #1 must be tied-off at all times to either the
structure or the rescue basket.
6. Rescuer #2, who is still in the rescue basket, lowers the line that will be used to
retrieve the worker. Rescuer #2 attaches an extra lanyard to the line if required.
7. Rescuer #1 assesses the fallen worker for injuries and then decides how to
proceed (i.e., treat injuries first, guide the fallen worker into the rescue basket,
or lower the basket to the ground with the fallen worker attached to it).
8. Once the fallen worker has been brought to a safe location, administer first aid.
Treat the person for suspension trauma and any other injury.
9. Arrange transportation to hospital. A designated worker must accompany the
injured worker to hospital.
Post-Rescue Procedure
All non-affected workers should remain in the designated safe gathering zone until the
site supervisor secured the site and further instruction is given.
The site supervisor and health and safety representative should
Begin the accident investigation.
Quarantine all fall-arrest equipment that may have been subjected to fall fatigue
effects and/or shock loading for further investigation.
Secure the area. The accident scene not be disturbed where a fatal or critical
injury has occurred.
Determine whether or not the jobsite-specific rescue and evacuation plans were
followed as designed.
Record modifications or additions to the plans that the rescue team deems
necessary.
Record all documented communications with fire, police, and other contractors
involved.
Record all documented statements from employees, witnesses, and others.
Save all photographs of the incident.
Record all key information such as dates, time, weather, general site conditions,
and specific accident locales including sketches of the immediate incident area,
complete with measurements if applicable.
