Identified Hazards

Control Measures

• Ensure proper fit and inspection of equipment before use.: Use fall protection equipment (harness, lanyard, anchor points) at all times when working at heights.
• Use barricades and signage to clearly mark the area.: Establish a controlled access zone below the lifting area to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering.
