What is Working at Height? Working at Height means any work where a person could fall from one level to another and suffer injury if proper precautions are not taken.
Examples: •Working on scaffolds •Roof work •Steel structure erection •Formwork installation •Ladder work •MEWP (Boom Lift/Scissor Lift) •Tower and platform work
Hazards of Working at Height Major Hazards: •Fall from height •Falling materials/tools •Slips and trips •Collapse of scaffold •Ladder failure •Weather conditions (rain, wind) •Electrical hazards •Improper use of PPE
Consequences •Serious injury •Permanent disability •Fatality •Property damage •Project delay
Fall Prevention Fall Protection Prevents the worker from falling Protects the worker after a fall begins Guardrails Full Body Harness Proper Scaffolding Shock Absorbing Lanyard Covers/Openings Protection Lifeline Safe Access Anchor Point Good Housekeeping Safety Net Fall Prevention vs Fall Protection Remember: Prevention is always better than protection.
Fall Prevention Measures Before Starting Work •Conduct Risk Assessment •Obtain Work at Height Permit •Inspect workplace •Install Guardrails •Cover floor openings •Barricade danger zones •Ensure safe access •Conduct Toolbox Talk
Fall Protection Equipment Equipment Required •Full Body Harness •Double Lanyard •Shock Absorber • •Anchor Point •Horizontal Lifeline •Vertical Lifeline •Safety Net
Use of Full Body Harness Correct Wearing Procedure 1.Inspect harness 2.Untangle straps 3.Wear shoulder straps 4.Fasten chest strap 5.Fasten leg straps 6.Adjust snug fit 7.Connect to approved anchor point Important •D-Ring should be between shoulder blades. •Harness should fit comfortably—not too loose or too tight.
Inspection of Full Body Harness Check Before Every Use Inspect: •Webbing •Stitching •D-Ring •Buckles •Hooks •Shock absorber •Labels and serial number Reject if: •Cuts •Burns •Broken stitching •Corrosion •Chemical damage •Missing labels
What is 100% Tie-Off? The worker must remain connected to an approved anchor point at all times while working at height. Rules: •Use double lanyard. •Transfer one hook at a time. •Never disconnect both hooks simultaneously. •Anchor above shoulder level whenever possible. •Use certified anchor points only.
