Working at Height (Hindi) HD | Class Room Safety Training | Team OHSE

Work at height is work in any place, including a place at, above or below ground level, where a person could be injured if they fell from that place. Access and egress to a place of work can also be work at height. Examples of work activities that are classified as working at height: Working on trestles Working on a flat roof Erecting falsework or formwork Working on a ladder Working at ground level adjacent to an excavation; Working on formwork within an excavation Working near or adjacent to fragile materials What should we do? Carry out risk assessments for work at height activities and make sure that all work is Planned, Organised and carried out by a competent person Follow the General Principles of Prevention for managing risks from work at height – take steps to avoid, prevent or reduce risks Chose the right work equipment and select collective measures to prevent falls (such as guard rails and working platforms) before other measures which may only reduce the distance and consequences of a fall (such as nets or airbags) or may only provide fall-arrest through personal protection equipment. Control measures First, assess the risks. Factors to weigh up include the height of the task, the duration and frequency, and the condition of the surface being worked on. Before working at height work through these simple steps: avoid work at height where it's reasonably practicable to do so where work at height cannot be easily avoided, prevent falls using either an existing place of work that is already safe or the right type of equipment minimise the distance and consequences of a fall, by using the right type of equipment where the risk cannot be eliminated For each step, always consider measures that protect everyone at risk (collective protection) before measures that only protect the individual (personal protection). Collective protection is equipment that does not require the person working at height to act for it to be effective. Examples are permanent or temporary guardrails, scissor lifts, and tower scaffolds. Personal protection is equipment that requires the individual to act for it to be effective. An example is putting on a safety harness correctly and connecting it, with an energy-absorbing lanyard, to a suitable anchor point. Trainer's Name - Mohd.
