Work at Height
- work at height heirarchy
- avoid work at height
- prevent falls
- minimise
distance/consequence
- avoid work at height
- all working platforms must be
inspected by a competent person
- after installation or assembly
- after any event likely to have affected
its integrity e.g. winds or alteration
- at regular intervals if below 2m or at
intervals not exceeding 7 days if 2m or
more
- after installation or assembly
- ladders
- strong enough for intended job
- checked before use
- do not use painted ladders
- ensure ladders are industrial, not domestic
- used on firm stable base
- tied or stabilised
- angle "one out of every four up"
- not overloaded - check safe working load
- not used over
overhead lines
- no over reaching
- 3 points of contact at all times
- carry tools on tool belt
- don't use top step of stepladders
- ensure stepladders
are fully opened and
locked
- strong enough for intended job
- scaffolds
- designed, erected, altered and dismantled only by competent people
- based on firm, level foundation
- voids, basements and drains avoided
- suitably braced and tied to a building
- platforms should be fully
boarded and wide
enough for work
- boards should be
properly supported
and not overhang
excessively
- provide safe access onto
platforms e.g. fixed
ladder
- loading bays should be
fitted with fall
protection, preferably
gates
- designed, erected, altered and dismantled only by competent people
- tower scaffolds
- hazards - overturn/collapse,
overloading, falls, falling objects,
overhead power lines
- manufacturers instructions should be
followed when erecting/using towers - e.g.
base/height ratio, loading, etc
- towers should only be erected by competent
people (e.g. PASMA trained)
- access ladders should be on inside of the tower
- positioned away from OH lines and to avoid reaching
- never move with people on tower
- hazards - overturn/collapse,
overloading, falls, falling objects,
overhead power lines
- mobile elevated work platfors
- hazards: overturn/collapse, overloading,
falls/falling objects, overhead power lines,
mechanical failure, trapping, collision
- operators should be fit, competent and trained
- work restraint/fall arrest systems may be needed
- should be inspected and maintained in line with manufacturers instructions
- daily checks should be carried out by operators
- hazards: overturn/collapse, overloading,
falls/falling objects, overhead power lines,
mechanical failure, trapping, collision
- falling objects control measures
- brick guards
- netting or sheeting
- hard hats
- safe method for getting tools/materials to work platform e.g. hoist
- safe removal of waste e.g. waste chute into covered skip
- catch fans
- covered walkways
- signs/barriers
- brick guards
