WHY?

> Falls from height can result in very serious injuries or death.
The following situations, in particular, present a risk of falling from a height:

  • Openings in the floors and grilles.

  • Roof work.

  • Modification of metal structures.

  • Working on ladders.

 

AS A MANAGER

> I ensure that all risks are assessed so that all necessary precautions to prevent falls from height are defined and implemented.
> When possible, I look for a way to completely avoid working at heights.

 

AS A WORKER

> I am observing the precautions.
> I never approach an edge without being secure.
> I check that my protective equipment is in good working order.
> I'm staying within the permitted area.
> If I notice any risk of falling, I inform my supervisor.
