Safe working at height Prepare Location? Distractions? Talk aids? Reason Around 40% of major injuries on construction sites involve falls from heights. Why More than 50% of falls from height end in death. Don’t end up as a statistic. Outline This talk will cover what you need to think about and do, before and during working at height. Before working at height 1. Remember – ladders and stepladders are only for light work of a short duration where there is a low risk of falling. 2. Roof-edge barriers (or scaffolds) must be erected to prevent people and materials falling. 3. Access ladders must extend at least 1 metre above the stepping-off point and must be secured. 5. Ladders must be rested at the correct angle (1 unit out for 4 units up). Q: What should be identified before work at height starts? Hazards of working at height 1. If a fall could result in serious injury, guard-rails and toe-boards must be erected. 2. Hazards resulting from adverse weather conditions must be anticipated, and suitable precautions taken. 3. Too much material on a working platform can make access and egress difficult. 4. Don’t allow rubbish to accumulate as this is liable to cause accidents. Use a chute or lower materials properly. 5. Wet, windy or icy weather can seriously affect safety. Safe working on roofs 1. Only competent operatives may be used for roofing works. 2. A safe system of work must be devised and implemented where the roof would otherwise be liable to collapse under a person’s weight. 3. If edge protection or a soft-landing system cannot be used, it may be necessary to use a harness and lanyard. A secure anchorage point and training will be necessary. 5. Openings must be covered or guarded; if removed for the passage of workers or materials, replace immediately. 6. Only competent staff to alter scaffold. Scaffold board, toe boards, guard rails, brick guards etc must not be removed Lowering Materials to Ground 1. Materials to be lowered to ground safely 2. No bombing of materials 3. Site and scaffold to be kept clear of trip hazards 4. Chutes to be used to lower materials to ground. 5. Skip area to be secured using herris fencing
