-Falls from Height-Control Measures:
Use guardrails, barriers, or edge protection to prevent falls.
Provide and enforce the use of personal fall protection equipment, such as harnesses, lanyards, and lifelines.
-Falling Objects-Control Measures:
Use tool lanyards or tethering systems to secure tools and equipment.
Establish exclusion zones and barriers to prevent workers from entering areas where objects may fall.
-Unstable Surfaces: Hazard: Uneven or unstable surfaces can lead to slips, trips, or falls.
Control Measures:
Ensure that work platforms and scaffolding are on stable ground.
-Weather Conditions
Faulty Equipment: Hazard: Malfunctioning or defective equipment increases the risk of accidents. Control Measures:
Regularly inspect and maintain all work at height equipment.
-Overloading of Platforms: Hazard: Exceeding the weight limit on work platforms or scaffolding can lead to collapse. Control Measures:
Clearly communicate weight limits and restrictions.
Regularly inspect and maintain platforms to ensure structural integrity.
Train workers on load limits and proper distribution of weight.
-Poor Communication: Hazard: Ineffective communication can lead to misunderstandings and unsafe practices. Control Measures:
Establish clear communication channels between workers and supervisors.
Use signals, radios, or other communication devices when necessary.
Encourage a culture of open communication regarding safety concerns.
