Did you know that working at heights in a high-risk environment is the leading cause of death and serious injury in Australia?
SafeWork Australia stipulates that all businesses have a duty of care to ensure staff, contractors and visitors are safe when working at heights.
The 3 page Working at Heights Permit Checklist Form ensures that businesses identify and record potential hazards such as:
- Pipelines (water, steam, gas, fuel)
- Harmful materials (gases, chemicals)
- Electrical sources (cables, switchboards)
- Waste, sludge and deposits
- Mechanical plant and equipment
The form also enables businesses to record and list the standby personnel in the event of a fall and the rescue arrangement procedures to be carried out.
