Innovate Your Safety When Working At Heights
- Where possible, the workspace should be redesigned to minimise the need for people to work at height
- If working at height cannot be avoided, undertake the work using Passive Fall Protection Systems
- Use a work Positioning / Restraint System to prevent the user reaching a potential hazard
- Undertake the work using appropriate Fall Arrest Equipment to minimise the distance and force if a fall should occur
Passive Fall Protection Systems
- Minimise risk by providing a barrier to the hazard while protecting more than one worker at a time
- Create a level, anti-slip surface that keeps workers protected against potential fall hazards
