With objects stacked up to great heights, it’s often necessary for employees to work many feet above the ground. The risks from this line of work include bruises, concussion, broken limbs and even death. Working at twenty feet above is something that no employee should have to do unless extensive safety precautions are in order. Firstly, proper access equipment is essential. This equipment should be checked regularly to ensure its proper functioning. Edge protection should also be installed on mezzanine floors, where the risk of falling is high.
