Assessing The Working Environment
For use in any requirement for working at height, that demands mobility over a
large working area. The fitness for purpose must be verified by formal risk
assessments.
These notes are for guidance purposes only. It is essential that a person who is
trained or otherwise competent to do so, assesses applications.
An assessment to determine the safe use and emergency retrieval plan should
only be carried out after reading this manual.
Each application may be different. These instructions are produced as a guide
only. They can never replace the requirement for a formal assessment of each
application by a suitably competent person. A plan of work and emergency
rescue procedure must be in place. The work / emergency rescue procedures
must be continually considered to suit any changes in the working environment.
6.1
Fall Arrester Anchored Vertically Overhead
Working with the fall arrester anchored vertically overhead is the ideal
arrangement for use as the potential fall distance is kept to a minimum.
There must always be adequate clearance below the working area to
allow a fall to be stopped safely.
Allow 2 metres plus the Height of the User, for clearance below the
working area. See figure 1.
Be aware of any form of obstruction that may injure the user should a
fall occur. Implement measures to remove any risk.
