Safety Issues in Working at Heights The major safety practice that is to be provided when the workers are at heights are to provide sufficient fall protection. Greatest fatalities in the construction industry are caused due to falls. The major reasons involved in falling are: Unstable working surfaces Failure to use fall protection equipment and accessories. Human errors. Safety Practice when Working at Heights Use of aerial lifts or elevated platforms to provide safer working surface The holes in the floors must be covered Personal fall arrest systems or safety net systems must be used Provide guard rails Warning lines or control lines can be installed Proper training of the workers regarding safety working practice Make workers aware about the use and maintenance of Personal protective equipment(PPE) Check the working condition of the equipment working at heights.

Improper scaffolding works al result in hazards. Fall hazards are occurred if the scaffolds are not properly erected or used. As per OSHA about 2.4 million construction workers work over scaffolding. Following the safety practices during scaffolding works helps to prevent injuries and fatalities. Every scaffolding must be erected with strong foot bearing plates to avoid collapse. Safety Practices in Scaffolding Works ¢ The scaffolding must be erected on a solid footing with proper foot bearing plates «The scaffolding used must be strong and rigid + The scaffolding must carry its dead weight and almost 4 times the maximum load coming over it. This must be carried without -any form .of displacement or settlement. st * Scaffolding must not be-supported. by means of boxes, loose bricks or any other unstable objects * Any repair or damage to the scaffolding accessories like braces, screw legs, ladders or trusses have to be repaired and replaced. * Access to the scaffolding is provided through ladders and stairwells * The natural and synthetic ropes used in suspension scaffolding must not interrupt with heat or electricity producing sources. 35|Page “Module 3 a a ENGINEERING have to be mainta; imum of 10 feet ‘ tain sf ere scaffolding and the electric lines, q struction must be inspected by it must be . tent person: The unt erect comp' _gmantled with the guidance ne TNDUSTRIAL SAE moved of dis: supervision of this competent person. 35 SAFETY ISSUES IN UNDER-W.
