WHY ENSURE SAFE CONSULTANCY?

Injury risk is reduced by following good workplace health, safety, wellbeing, and hygiene practices. We are the originators of the first guide on occupational health and safety, whether you work at height every day, working safely should always remain a top priority.

It takes one mistake to turn a routine task into a serious injury or fatality. Every time your employees may be exposed to a fall hazard, you must be prepared to protect them.

Training and Guidance

Assist the Faculty and Heads of Professional Support Services and the Roof Permits to Work Issues in the selection of suitable equipment

Assist in the creation and execution of audits relating to working at heights and related equipment. To ensure the safe use of any work at height equipment, develop and implement training for Roof Permit to Work Issuers, Employees, and Users. Be in charge of keeping this policy and process up to date.

Assist in the undertaking of Roof Audits

A proper work at height risk assessment should be carried out in order to set workable work at height management measures. This will aid in the development of appropriate control mechanisms for work at height activities. As a result, it’s critical that the employer analyses the risks and assesses the dangers so that work may be done safely.

Risk Assessment Guidance

In the event that works at height cannot be avoided, a suitable and sufficient risk assessment MUST be undertaken. The results of this risk assessment must be used to build a safe work system, which includes the implementation of emergency procedures. The assessment and method statement (safe system of work) must be put down if the risks are severe.

Assessing the Risks

All available information on the task to be done must be available and consulted for assessing risk.

All foreseeable risks must be assessed ahead of time, and the following factors may need to be taken into account.

• Working from a ladder

• Working from a scaffold or scaffold tower

• Working on rooftops without proper fixed protection

•Working on roofs with unprotected roof lights

Rescue Plan

A rescue must be included in every method statement that discusses how an injured worker can be safely removed. When a safety harness is utilized as a control measure, the quickness of response is critical.
