Protection To Do When Working At Height

Some steps to protect workers from falls, injury, and death when working at height:
- Plan work at height carefully
- Identify potential hazards and risks in the workplace
- Oversee work
- Keep workspace free of debris and equipment that may cause a trip and fall hazard
- Implement measures to eliminate and reduce hazards
- Provide Safety and Fall Protection Equipment to workers (PPE, Harness, Lanyard, guardrail, safety net, ladder, rope) based on specific hazards and work environment
- Ensure that equipment is properly maintained and functioning properly
- Create a plan to rescue workers taking into account the height, equipment, and number of Rescue Teams required
- Have a Rescue Team that has been trained to carry out rescues

Workers must take training on:
- Safety Practices
- The risk of working at a height
- Danger of falling
- How to properly inspect, use and maintain equipment for protection
- How to handle an emergency

Employers should also conduct regular Safety Audits and Inspections to ensure the safety and well-being of workers in any work environment.

Some steps that can be taken to save workers from high angles:
- Call for emergency help and Rescue Team as soon as possible
- Set safe boundaries around the accident site, secure the area, and provide protection to workers and rescuers
- Quickly assess the situation to determine the extent of injuries and difficulties that may be encountered in the Rescue Operation
- Evacuate workers carefully and provide First Aid
