These are hazards that you should look out for when working from heights:

Let’s take a better look at an example of working at heights. A example of working at height involving the installation of exterior signage on a commercial building. This task requires workers to access and work on elevated platforms and scaffolding.

  • The primary hazard associated with this task is the risk of falls from heights, which can result in severe injuries or fatalities.

  • Uneven or unstable surfaces on the scaffolding or platforms can cause workers to lose balance and fall.

  • Tools, equipment, or materials dropped from height can pose a risk to workers below.

  • Adverse weather, such as high winds or rain, can make working at height even more dangerous by decreasing stability and visibility.
