Working at height – Preventing the risk of falling Companies are familiar with the obligation to carry out a Risk Inventory & Evaluation (RI&E), but this often does not include the roof or working at height.
When personnel are going to perform work at height and there is a risk of falling from height, a (roof) RI&E must be drawn up.
On our website at Services you will find an explanation of the regulations concerning the risk of falling, which focuses on preventing the risk of falling. Working method for drawing up the RI&E Carrying out a thorough and complete Roof RI&E involves the following activities: -Existing construction: on-site recording where unsafe situations are recorded.
-New construction: assessment of the specifications and design drawings.
During the inventory, we record, among other things: -Risks to which persons working at height are exposed.
-Present technical units and maintenance work on roofs.
-Frequency of maintenance work.
-Access routes and environmental factors that pose a health hazard.
-Document risks and control measures in accordance with Occupational Hygiene Strategy.
-Digital reporting of findings and measures.
-Digital drawing of workplaces at height with the roof safety plan.
