Safety at Work
Health and Safety at work is critically important, we as duty holders always ensure:
-
all work at height is properly planned and organised;
-
those involved in work at height are competent;
-
the risks from work at height are assessed and appropriate work equipment is selected and used;
-
the risks from fragile surfaces are properly controlled; and
-
equipment for work at height is properly inspected and maintained.
When working we will always:
-
avoid work at height where we can;
-
use work equipment or other measures to prevent falls where we cannot avoid working at height; and
-
where we cannot eliminate the risk of a fall, use work equipment or other measures to minimise the distance and consequences of a fall should one occur.
