Plan. Provide. Train.
- PLAN ahead to get each job done safely. When working from heights - six feet or more - plan projects to ensure that the job can be done safely. Decide how the job can be done, what tasks will be involved, and identify the safety equipment needed to complete each task safely.
- PROVIDE the right equipment for each job. Employees working six feet or more above lower levels are at risk for falls. To protect them, fall protection needs to be provided along with the right equipment for the task.
- TRAIN all employees to use the equipment correctly. Every employee needs to be trained on proper set-up and safe use of all equipment they use on the job including recognizing the hazards they will face on each job.
