 Ensure the PTW in place and comply the procedure.
Working on Work at height  Ensure proper working platform with complete fall protection
mobile  Ensure Full body harness and 100% Tie off
scaffolding Fall from height  Ensure the scaffold platform is properly erected with "Safe to use"
Falling objects tag.
Over loading  Ensure castor wheels are locked
Protruding objects  Hand tools must be secured/tethered
Access & egress Supervisors Foreman,
 Work materials strictly not allowed to be stored on platform except for
Site Eng.
working tools
 Ensure avoid over reaching and climb on handrail.
 Ensure unauthorized person not allowed to modify the scaffolding and
if needed to any changes then must be modified by trained and certified
scaffolder.
 Ensure safe access to the working platform
 Scaffold access must be free from obstruction
 Ensure sufficient illumination in work area

ground cases Ladder can be use if permission granted from MVL Safety
Falling objects  Never try to overreach with any ladders
 Check the ladder is adequately maintained and free from
damages/good condition
 Maintain a minimum of 3 points of contact with stepladders at all times
(feet/thighs/hands)
 If possible, avoid the use of stepladders at a working height of 2
meters and more.
Supervisors Foreman,
 Check the ladder legs (and stays) are fully deployed or locked

(depending on type) to maintain maximum base dimensions and the
step ladder is orientated to provide maximum stability.
 Stepladders/ladders has to be used on leveled ground/firm base
 Ensure that during using ladder from the top 2 step is blocked to
avoid climb on that.
 The ladder securely fixed to prevent slipping outwards or sideways or
securely footed at all times.
 Person must hold the ladder while another
