Q3 2024Safe work at height andpreventing dropped objects

The goal of the learning package is to strengthen safe work at height and prevent dropped objects by:

  • Identifying and managing hazards and error traps associated with working in scaffolding
  • Identifying and managing potential dropped objects through more active use of observation
  • Ensuring quality in framework conditions for high-activity periods

Introduction: Working safely at height and preventing dropped objects

How can we work safer at height and become better at preventing dropped objects? To create safer conditions for current and future work, we need to become even better at identifying and managing hazards and error traps in the workplace. Together, we can create good framework conditions and safer work for ourselves and others.
