Eliminate the Risk

Avoid working at height where possible or locate plant and equipment in safe locations where there’s no risk of a fall. After all, if you’re not at height, gravity has much less pull.

Guard the Hazard

When working at height is essential, ensure that workers aren’t exposed to unnecessary risks by providing a parapet or guardrail to eliminate fall hazards.

Protect the Worker

If it’s not possible to eliminate the risk of falling, use the appropriate fall protection system to help minimize the consequences of a fall. This is achievable through either a fall arrest or fall restraint system.
