What personal protective equipment (PPE) is required when working at heights?

A complete body harness must be worn, and safety ropes should be installed on tools to prevent them from falling.

What is the procedure before erecting or dismantling scaffolds?

Conduct a risk assessment and technical meeting, ensure the scaffold is based on the approved design, and have the scaffold supervisor present to supervise the process.

Who checks the condition of the scaffolder’s PPE and fall prevention devices?

Supervisors who are experts in fall safety equipment must check that the PPE and fall prevention devices are in good condition and suitable for use.

What should never be done when scaffolding is wet or during rain?
