Working at Heights in Australia - Scaffolding

Do often work at unsafe heights? You might be in the construction industry, work in a warehouse, or be a tradesman, painter, window cleaner or home handyman. These are just a few fields where people risk their lives by working at heights to get the job done.

In 2013, Safe Work Australia reported that a staggering 232 deaths occurred due to falls at work between 2003 and 2011. Workers aged 45 years and over made up 70% of those who died.In addition 7730 workers compensation claims were made in 2010-11 for serious injury due to a fall, so on average 21 employees per day received a fall-related injury that required one or more weeks off work. If only these work sites had adequate safety systems!

Worksafe (WA) sets out the Code of Practice – Prevention of Falls at Workplaces Which outlines best practice and regulations when working at heights. The code advises that anyone working at heights must ensure they have a ‘Fall injury prevention system’ designed to stop a person’s fall and minimise the risk of injuries or harm.

A fall injury prevention system includes:

  • Scaffolding;
  • Restraint systems;
  • Fall-arrest systems;
  • Catch platforms;
  • Safety nets; and
  • Safety mesh.

The code also states that “choosing the most appropriate fall injury prevention system is essential”.
