Summary of the lecture

Accessing plant, equipment and vehicles presents some incredibly unique fall protection hazards, including the issue of low fall clearance, and often involves dealing with other issues such as heat and sparks from either the equipment itself or the work being carried out on it.

Working on vehicles or transportation logistics poses the dual issue of low fall clearance combined with the need to be highly mobile in order to be able to carry out the tasks required.
In this webinar we will look at the hazards involved in this type of low-level work at height, as well as understand what we need to do to control them, and the solutions that are available to achieve this.
