This is a simple work at ppt .. this slides is very easily to learn work at height safety

2. Learning Lite Module

3. What is working at height?
Any work to be performed at a height of 1.8 meters or
above from the ground level where a person is standing is
defined as work at height. Even a job being carried out
below the ground level is classified as work at height. (Eg:
Work in an excavated area is a work at height).
For jobs at more than 1.8 mtr. height, where there is no
permanent platform, the job requires a permit to work
along with a work at height checklist.

9.  Slippery Surface
Damaged Platform & Railing
Improper use of staircase
Poor House keeping
Poor Health condition & Acrophobia

10. Must be Work on Oil free Platform
Do maintain three points at all times while climbing
Maintain Good House keeping on Platform
Keep good health condition
Report Near Misses

15. Poor Scaffolding condition
Bad House keeping
Lack of knowledge about work at height procedure
Use of jugad
 With out Use of PPE’s
With out use Fall protection systems
Poor Health condition

16. Before you start a job on scaffold. Must be
check scaffold condition and check list
Keep Access and egress way are clean and neat
Keep three point contact on Ladder
Must be use proper tools and equipments
Must be use Proper PPE’s ,
Must Be use Proper Fall Protection System
Only Work trained and Knowledgeable person
Barricade the work at height area
 All the person Should be know about the
rescue plan

17. Many worker believe that they have time to regain their
balance before the fall this is not always true.
The following table indicates how far you can fall in just
a few second
Time (seconds) Distance (meter )
0.5 1.2
1 5
1.5 11
2 20
2.5 31
3 44
4 78

18. Railing
Safety Harness
Life Line
Safety Net

19. •Top Rail
•Mid Rail
•Toe Board

20. Safety Harness
Chest strap tightened
at mid chest
Butt strap
supports the load
Proper snugness
shoulder to hips
Leg straps snug but
not binding
“D” ring between
shoulder blades

21. Harness Pressure Points
Spread load
across butt strap
and belt strap if
on the harness
Excess pressure here can
cut blood flow to the legs
Some studies have indicated permanent damage to the lower extremities
when the worker hangs for more than twenty (20) minutes

22. A lifeline is a length of synthetic fibre or
steel wire rope attached to an independent
point of anchorage. A lifeline is typically
used in conjunction with a fall arrest
device, such as a rope grab.
Vertical Lifeline
Horizontal Lifeline
Retractable Lifeline

23. Use of Safety Nets
•Assumes the fall will occur
•Assumes adequacy of the
system (or requires testing)

24. Planning For A Rescue
• Whenever working
with the potential of
hanging by a harness,
a rescue plan must
be in effect.
• A written Hazard
Analysis must be
done and employees
must be trained on
the plan.

25. Planning For A Rescue
• The rescue plan must be written in the hazard
analysis
• The goal is to rescue the employee as soon as
possible and limit the hanging time to no
more than fifteen minutes.
• Ensure all the rescue equipment in the vicinity
• Call x 2222 whenever someone has been in a
fall arrest situation
