Has the highest level of control been chosen to control the risk? See below *

YesNo

Elimination: The first step is to consider whether you can completely remove the source of the hazard. For instance:

•Look for tasks that can be completed while workers are on the ground instead of working at height.

•Avoid working at height if the surface isn’t sturdy enough to support workers’ weight.

Substitution: If working at height is necessary, explore safer alternatives:

•Identify the safest location for the task. Consider using equipment like an EWP (Elevated Work Platform) or a Crane with Manbox.

Isolation: Implement measures to isolate workers from risks:

•Install height safety systems such as barriers to prevent access to hazardous areas (e.g., edges of roofs).

Engineer Controls: Consider re-engineering or making physical changes to equipment or work systems:

•Modify equipment design to enhance safety.
