Access and Working at Heights
• 55 % of accident deaths in the construction industry are the results of falls of people or tools and materials from heights, often by only a few metres.
• Many involve the misuse of simple items of equipment such as ladders and stepladders
![Page 15: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Access and Working at Heights
• The law requires that where work cannot be done safely from the ground, access equipment must be provided.
• The term access equipment covers ladders, steps, trestles, lightweight platforms, mobile towers and scaffolding.
![Page 16: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Access and Working at Heights
• It is essential in all cases to be able to :-
• Select the right piece of equipment for the job.
• Check it is sound.• Erected properly.• Use it safely.
![Page 17: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Scaffolding
• Before use :-• Confirm with supervisor that
scaffolding is safe to use.• Note if “ scaffolding incomplete”
notices are displayed.• Note where sections are barred off.
![Page 18: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Scaffolding
• In use• Do not climb scaffold or climb from
adjoining structures or building.
![Page 19: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Scaffolding
• Do use a ladder or passenger hoist for access to scaffolding.
• Do not interfere with scaffolding e.g. Do not remove any members.
• Ensure brick guards are fitted, particularly when materials are stacked above toeboard height.
![Page 20: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Scaffolding
• Keep working platforms and gangways clear and free from debris and waste materials.
• Avoid overloading working platforms.
![Page 21: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Scaffolding
• Do not throw materials or debris from working platforms.
• Do not rig tarpaulins on scaffolding: windsail effect may cause collapse of scaffolding.
• Inform the supervisor of any defects e.g. Guardrails missing.
![Page 22: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Ladder – Before Use
• Check before use for defects.• Report all defects.• Do not paint ladders.• Never use aluminium ladders near
electrical equipment.
![Page 23: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ladder – Before Use
• Employers maintains records of inspection.
• The right ladder for the job.• Know the safe systems of work• Use the safe systems of work.
![Page 24: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ladder Safety
• Ladder at correct angle 1 out to 4 up or 75 degrees
• Extend at least 1 metre above landing place.
• Lashed securely at the top or at the bottom.
• Alternatively the ladder should be “footed”
![Page 25: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Excavations
• Every year on average 7 people are killed in excavations
• Deep trenches look dangerous but precautions are usually taken ; most deaths occur in trenches less than 2.5m deep.
![Page 26: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Excavations
• Rain and drying out in hot weather can cause trenches to collapse
• A cubic metre of soil weights over a tonne.
• A person buried under this amount in a trench would quickly suffocate and die.
![Page 27: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Excavations Precautions
• Safety helmets must be worn at all times.• Access to and from the excavation should
be by ladder, securely fixed.• Do not climb in and out of excavations
using the supports.• Guardrails and warning signs are required
where a person may fall into an excavation and where the public are at risk.
![Page 28: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Buried Services
• Before excavation starts• Determine the dangers• Obtain advice on the location and
ownership of the buried cables.• Check existing plans to establish
cable routes, depth and voltage.• Use location devices to determine
exact route(s)
![Page 29: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Buried Services
• During excavation.• Assume all cables are live.• Use careful hand digging when
nearing assumed cable route.• Do not use excavators or power
tools within 0.5m of the indicated route.
![Page 30: MR. J. Hanna Occupational Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681678a550346895ddca19d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Buried Services
• Look for marker tape or other types of indicator, such as marker tiles, buried directly above the route of the cables.
• Support exposed services and do not use them as hand hold or foothold.
• Other services communication cables, water pipes, gas pipes etc.
