When considering purchasing an existing commercial or industrial building, ensuring it comes with a compliant height safety system is an important part of due diligence.
Roof access is generally a part of every commercial and industrial building’s design, but in many cases that access is not compliant with fall protection standards.
Although it has been outlawed for nearly three decades, there are still many places where workers can commonly come across asbestos.
The popularity of engineered stone has come an increased awareness of the workplace dangers associated with the crystalline silica dust that is produced.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is an important part of any work safety plan. Ensure that you have the safety equipment you need before starting work.
Keeping all the services and systems in your building maintained is important for safety and comfort. Having a compliant height safety system can help.
For those working in high-risk environments rescue training is just as important as being trained in performing the work itself.
Suspension trauma is the second biggest injury risk following a fall from height and can strike even if a safety system has worked as intended.
Accidents happen. Having an emergency and rescue plan ready to action in response to one can mean the difference between life and death.
Although safety documentation and administrative controls might seem trivial, for workers they can provide much needed information and risk awareness.
