right lifting techniques and

depute a competent supervisor

for monitoring.

Conduct a training programme

to workers on right lifting

methods.

0: 'orkers found doing the steel frame

work of second oor top and they had

not worn safety harness.

Consequence;on usage of safety harness by the

workers while working at height can lead

to falling of them from height and thus

severe in"uries like head in"ury or even

death can happen to them.

-nforce the workers to wear

safety harness while working at

height and if insu5cient3 provide

them with the same.
