Working at height in metalworking industries

You may be exposed to 'working at height hazards’ in a primary metal, metal fabrication or other metalworking or engineering site. The wide range of working environments and hazards within these industries can be difficult to manage.

During this webinar, 3M industry experts will walk you through some of the hazards, best practices and suggested PPE solutions for working at height in the primary metal and metalworking industries:

• How to identify the hazards, the consequences of falling and the hierarchy of control for work at height.
• Implementing an effective fall protection system including Fall Factors, Fall Clearance, Swing Falls and Fall Arrest vs Fall Restraint.
• Explain some of the common terminology that is used in the industry.
• Common working at height applications in the metalworking industry, including working from mobile elevated work platforms, overhead cranes and gantries, ladders and scaffolding, and roofs.

Using personal protective equipment (PPE) is the last line of defence, and when selecting PPE, consideration should be given to the wearer, work task and work environment. When safety for employees who work at heights is a priority, everyone on your team stands to benefit.
