Let’s all
PART 6 – RC CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING get home safely,
AT HEIGHT every day
The highest potential risk when
considering reinforced concrete
works is the potential for falls from
height of operatives, materials and
equipment.
We manage this risk through a
layered approach following the
hierarchy of risk controls - Avoid,
eliminate, reduce.
This approach provides a number of
control measures mutually
supporting each other - edge
protection, fall restraint, tethering
systems and exclusion zones all
working together to create a fail
safe environment.
Operatives must be aware of the
360 3 dimension risk that the RC
o
structure environment presents and
not only be aware of what is
immediately around them but also
what is above and below them.
