Difficult work at height. Occupational Safety and Health

Work on the height must be carried out with extreme caution, because such work is extremely dangerous. Therefore, labor protection includes a number of rules that should be followed when organizing the work process.

Strictly adhere to precautionary measures necessary to ensure the safety of the person himself, so you should never neglect those requirements that are prescribed in the company's charter.

First of all, the rules of work at the height require the climbers to pass a mandatory medical examination. As a rule, for professions that assume work on the ground at an altitude of 1 to 5 meters, are: electrician, electrician, electric welder, etc. Medical examination must take place representatives of such professions, without fail, once a year. There are a number of medical contraindications, which can be an obstacle to the performance of man's stump work. Moreover, work at height should be carried out by persons not older than 60 and not younger than 18 years, who at the same time must have a qualification of at least the 3rd level and undergo the necessary training. The main tool that saves from falling from a height at the time of operation, remains a safety belt.

It is very important that all employees are instructed in the workplace, which includes a detailed explanation of the operation of the safety devices, training in the rules of observing the workplace in the required state and the existing approaches to it.

All work at the height must necessarily be carried out by people wearing helmets, without observing this condition, employees are not allowed to perform professional duties.

Any actions using pyrotechnic, pneumatic and electrified tools are not allowed from portable ladders or ladders. Ladders with upper platforms that have perimeter fences, cradles, scaffolding, lifts, towers should be used for such purposes.

If the worker does not have the opportunity to secure the strap of his safety belt for the structure, it is necessary to use a safety rope or a vertical safety device.

If under the construction on which the actions are performed, live live parts under tension, the tool must necessarily be tied.

In certain situations, when the workplace, as well as approaches to it pass through current-carrying parts without fencing, they must be disconnected.

Do not work under wires that are live (high-voltage power lines).

Installation work at height should be carried out on specially installed and fixed structures. Hinged ladders, platforms and other devices must be fixed on the mounted structures before they are lifted to the appropriate height in the design position.

The transition of installers between structures must be carried out using special bridges and ladders, as well as stairs that have fences in places where it is impossible to use safety ropes and safety belts.

Any installation of large-panel, prefabricated-monolithic and multi-storey structures must be carried out according to a pre-compiled project. It must necessarily reflect the specifics of the structures to be mounted, indicating the technical methods for their safe installation. The documentation also specifies the exact positioning and positioning of the reinforcement, which is contained in the structural elements, and the maximum permissible loads that can be exerted on it as a whole.

Instruction on labor protection for employees who perform a number of actions at altitude, requires strict compliance with all the rules prescribed in it. The same is required from the leaders who are responsible for the activities of their subordinates.

Remember that compliance with all the rules that are prescribed in the safety regulations, will, first of all, save and protect your life.
