Edge Protection Guidelines
Coming up with edge protection guidelines is vital for preventing people and tools from falling out of the lifting equipment. Many workers get so involved in the working process, they forget about being high up. Each employee must read the information about edge protection and learn how to use scaffolding, stools, podiums, platforms, etc. safely.
Updated Restraint Systems
Even if the equipment you use is absolutely safe, restraint systems are compulsory for any work at heights. Even the best restraint system is useless without proper training. These systems are being perfected on a regular basis, so the company should consider investing in the latest solutions.
Roof Work Safety Guidelines
Working on the roof is one of the most dangerous tasks for many maintenance companies. The lifting equipment can get you up there but it can’t keep you safe. Roof work safety guidelines must include edge protection and fall hazard prevention.
