WORK AT HEIGHT

Ensure usage of full body harness having hooks whileworking at heights and with proper anchorage.Provide life lines wherever anchoring provision is notthere, insure suitable access to the work location atheights

Temporary platforms should be provided with hand railsand there should not be any gaps between the metalboards used for platforms, Barriers should be providedon open edges, holes, floor openings, Permit for anycutting of grills, hand rails to be obtained.

Platforms should not be overloaded and should be keptfrom obstructions/ Ensure area to be barricaded whereheight works are under progress.

Ensure proper shielding against falling objects

PROPER ANCHORAGE

FALL FACTOR:

Fall factorexpresses the proportional seriousness of afall.It is the relationship between the length of the fall

and the rope available to absorb the impact force of the

fall.It is calculated using the following equation:

Fall factor = Length of the fall/length of the rope or

webbing used in the system

SWING FACTORAlways consider for

pendulum effect

while moving from

anchorage point It

should not be more

than 30 0

MATERIAL HANDLING

Ensure all lifting Tools & Tackles are tested &

tagged. All test certificates are available with

EICs.
