Working at Heights Risk Assessment Analysis Consultant/Service. key measures to be implemented but not limited to:

• Carry out risk assessments for work at height activities at both our Sites (Carnarvon and HartRAO) 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.

Requirements to be put in place:

• All work at height is properly planned and organised
• A risk assessment is carried out for all work conducted at height
• Appropriate work equipment is selected and used
• People working at a height are competent
• Equipment used for work at height is properly inspected and maintained
• Risks from fragile surfaces are properly controlled

The risk assessment should include a careful examination of what harm could be caused from working at height with a view to taking the effective steps to reduce the likelihood of this harm occurring, either through avoiding the activity or, where this is not reasonably practicable, by carrying it out in a safe manner using work equipment that is appropriate to the task and the level of risk.
