There are various dangers
involved in working at height. However, if you follow basic safety
protocols, they can be avoided. Follow these 5 top tips for working at
height to keep you and your fellow workers safe.
(1) Assess and Plan the Work
Your work situation should be fully assessed and planned out before starting. This will ensure you have the necessary work and safety equipment in place to carry out the job with safe efficiency.
(2) Work in Pairs
It is always a good idea to work with a colleague. They can hold a ladder at the base while you climb to complete the work and can keep an eye on the surroundings to ensure passers-by stay out of harm's way.
(3) Properly Secure All Equipment
Ladders and scaffolding should be securely placed on non-slip materials to ensure the climber's safety. The climber should also securely fasten all tools to a utility belt or within a tool bag to prevent them from falling onto colleagues or passers-by below.
(4) Clearly Mark the Work Area on the Ground
Use work cones to mark out the work area on the ground so that colleagues and passers-by are aware that work is being conducted above. This will prevent anybody from wandering too close to ladders and scaffolding and being struck by falling debris.
(5) Wear All Necessary Safety Equipment
Safety helmets should be worn by all workers to protect them from falling materials. If you are working at a height in excess of two metres then a securely fastened harness should also be worn.
