• Above ground/another level
• Could fall from an edge
• Near an opening or fragile surface

What are the Key Challenges of Working at Heights?

There are key challenges of working at heights: leading edge – sharp edges, fall clearance, and dropped objects. Whether conducting a hazard assessment or developing a comprehensive fall protection plan, thinking about the key challenges before the work begins will help to prevent falls.

It’s critically important to understand leading and sharp edges and the unique hazards they present. Having the right equipment for the job can make all the difference.

Read our Blog: The Difference Between Leading and Sharp Edges

Should a fall occur, there must be sufficient clearance below the user to arrest the fall before the striking the ground or any other object.

Objects dropped from height can result in personal injury to workers and others at a worksite. They also can cause equipment damage and tool loss. Solve for this key challenge with fall protection for tools.
