Help: How to define work at heights?
Thread Content
Definition of work at height: Any work carried out at a height of 2 meters or more above the reference level for potential falls (including 2 meters) is considered work at height. What exactly is this reference level? Could someone please explain? Is working on mobile scaffolding at heights of over 2 meters, working on the platform of a tower that is 80 meters high, and working on a platform where the scaffolding built there is no higher than 2 meters but the work is done near the edge of the platform all considered work at height? Thank you.
1. When working on movable scaffolds 2m or higher, the reference surface is the supporting surface of the scaffold. ——Accidents involving the toppling of mobile scaffolds are not rare. 2. Working on the platform of a 80m tower, where scaffolding is erected not exceeding 2m in height but work is carried out near the edge of the platform, should be considered as work at height. ——Fundamentals should be the areas where you might experience a decline. At this point, the reference level should be the ground.
