Preventing Falls from Height

As an employer, you should:

  • Provide safe and proper access to and egress from heights for employees.
  • Install adequate fall prevention/protection systems such as guard rails, scaffolds and covers for openings.
  • Establish safe work procedures for various work at height (WAH) activities.
  • Provide individual fall arrest system (e.g. safety harness) for employees working at height.
  • Educate employees on the proper use of fall arrest devices (e.g. securing to a suitable anchor point).
  • Implement a travel restraint system to prevent employees from reaching an unguarded edge.
  • You should also develop and implement a fall prevention plan and a permit-to-work system.
