【Sea and River Safety Discussion】With railings in place, is it still necessary to wear a safety belt?

It seems that it might not be necessary to wear a safety belt at this point in the diagram. However, I think the welder may need to work in different locations; perhaps the next work site is at a higher height. Moreover, risks are identified on-site, and corresponding measures are taken accordingly. So, whether a seat belt is necessary or not really cannot be determined by those of us who are not at the scene

There is one thing in the picture that touched me a little: on a piece of scrap material that looks like aluminum sheet, there are some welding slag and electrode stubs stored there, as a measure to prevent debris from falling. It’s simple, but it’s still there.

There is no risk of falling from a height, so it does not constitute work at height.

If you’re not afraid of the hassle. Judging from the site, it is very likely that this precast component will be lifted into place as soon as it is completed, requiring someone to climb up to carry out the welding at the joints. That is why all the construction workers on site wear their equipment in accordance with these standards.

Taking into account the opinions from the third floor, seat belts are still necessary even when the area is not completely enclosed. Many workers lack the awareness to decide for themselves whether they need to wear seat belts; when moving from a safe area to an unsafe one, they often forget about wearing their seat belts ’

Switching between different scenarios causes trouble, and that’s why there are people who avoid such hassle

Working on inspection, maintenance, and operation platforms does not constitute working at height, so it is not necessary to wear a safety belt

It seems to be work on an offshore platform; with railings in place, safety belts might not be necessary. However, that welding rod container needs to be replaced – it’s really difficult for the workers on site to weld such large pipes by hand.
