Identification of risk

First of all the following things are required to be identified:

1.Task which can result in falling of someone

2.Objects that can result in falling

3.Anything dangerous this can be fallen in or onto

4.Risks faced by other workers

5.Risks faced by general public

Equipment required

The following is the equipment required when working on heights which is ladders, boards, electrical equipment, temporary work platforms, scaffolds, and personal protective equipment. For the safety of workers, the use of fixed scaffolds and perimeter guard has to be made essential. This is because these are safer than the work platforms. Fixed scaffolds and perimeter guard do not require operation by the worker, are in one place, unmoved and secured to the structure. The procedures must also include the head and foot protection such as appropriate footwear and hardhats. Anyone not wearing proper outfit, can be prohibited to enter the site.

Personal protection against falls from a height is restricted to two situations: in the case of temporary collective protection equipment can not be implemented or when it is not possible to use the equipment for access and working at height providing collective protection (scaffolding, platforms, and lifting platforms). There are three types of fall arrest systems, restraint systems and support systems in the workplace.

Written working procedures

The other important thing required is the written working procedures. This eases everyone by letting them know what is required. With the consultation of everyone, the safe working procedures must be assessed and developed. For most of the work, the standard procedures are suitable. Additional specific procedures are required in case of unusual conditions such as architectural features and high winds.

Controlling risks

The following steps are used for controlling the risks:

•Spotting the hazard

This includes analyzing anything that can turn into a hazard.

•Assessing the risk

This includes the checklist where the hazard is turn into safety. The potential impact of the hazard has to be known and it must be identified that how likely the hazard can cause harm to ...
