    Working at heights increases the risk of serious injury from falls. A hazard assessment is required before any elevated work and workers should wear full-body harnesses, which have saved many lives. Scaffolding, ladders, and temporary flooring used at height also require inspection for strength and positioning, while tools and materials above must remain secured to protect those below.

    WORKING AT HEIGHT ELEVATES


    THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY.
    Managing a workers risk of falling is a criticalyet often overlookedjob
    safety practice. Commonly defined as working at height (4 feet or more
    by U.S. standards), performing tasks above ground or floor level should
    require a hazard assessment prior to the task being started.
    Most critical is requiring workers to wear a full-body harness. This
    precaution alone has saved countless lives. In addition, scaffolding,
    ladders and temporary flooring should be examined for load strength and
    proper positioning. And to protect those working or walking below any
    elevated work, hand tools and materials should be secured at all time.
