I will protect myself and others from falling objects and falls from height

 

Planning

5.1 Identify all tasks that present a potential fall from height of a person and implement appropriate control measures

 

5.2 Identify areas where falling object risks are present and implement appropriate control measures

 

5.3 Prevent persons and objects from falling through penetrations, shafts and risers

 

5.4 Only accept boom lifts fitted with secondary protection devices (SPDs)

 

5.5 Ensure grid mesh and checker plate flooring is installed and removed by a competent person as per design requirements

 

Doing

5.A Do not remove or travel through any edge protection, barricade or exclusion zone unless authorised

 

5.B Do not overload, or make any adjustments to, working platforms or fall protection devices unless authorised

 

5.C Only use a harness as a primary control if approved by the BU Operations Manager and a more effective control is not reasonably practical

 

5.D Install roof sheeting from below or from a solid platform only after roof safety mesh and edge protection has been installed and signed off

 

5.E Ensure you are trained to perform your role in any work at height and/or grid mesh activities

 

5.F Only access the back or top of any vehicle or item of plant if fall protection controls are in place
