Worker Safety at Height

There are three key stages to be considered with regard to worker safety at height:

1. Eliminate the risk

Locate plant and equipment in safe locations where there is no risk of a fall.

2. Guard the hazard

Provide a parapet or guardrail to eliminate the fall hazard.

3. Protect the worker

Accept that the environment does present a risk of a fall from height and so protect the worker by means of a fall arrest or fall restraint system.
