COURSE: WORK AT HEIGHT SAFETY
COURSE CODE: WHS 111

INTRODUCTION
We need protection because even those of us with experience working at heights can lose our balance or grip; we can slip, trip, or misstep at any time.
We may think that our reflexes will protect us, but we’re falling before we know it, and we don’t have to fall far to be seriously injured.
We’ve been falling since Day One. Until we get better at landing, we’ll need protection from falling.
Learning Objectives
 Explain the falling hazard of working at heights
 Describe Working at Heights standard
 Explain how to avoid falling while working at heights
 Demonstrate the appropriate and safe way to use ladders, stairs and other equipment to avoid falling
