SWP Updates

Work at Height

Regulatory and OEAG findings are driving the additions to this Safe
Work Practice. As there may appear to be a lot of content, the actual
additions are providing clear prescription to rules, addition of a Work
at Height Plan Form and a ladder inspection component.

What the Terminals need to do in preparation of the Safe Work


Practice Implementation of July 30, 2016:
• Add the Qualified Inspection of harnesses and lanyards to the tracking
data base used
• Have harnesses inspected by a qualified person, (contact Tony Kirby if
unsure)
• Identify ladders and add inspection requirements to the tracking data
base used. (SAPPM/Essential Sweet)
• Conduct initial ladder inspection(s).

What’s New for Content

on manufacturer’s documents) (section 4.3.2 MEWP)

over water (section 4.3.2)

• Inserted requirements for certified inspection of fall protection harnesses and

Important Understandings

• When transitioning a ladder of any type, three points of contact must be


maintained when Ascending or descending

• When exposed to a fall of 6’ or more, fall prevention methods (engineering


controls) or fall protection is required
• Unprotected edge of a tank
• Outside a handrail system of an elevated platform
• Inside a JLG (man lift)
• Leaning over a roof inspection hatch without designed guarding in place
(a chain in the middle is not adequate).

• Certified Harness and Lanyard Inspection is a reference that the respective


manufacturer of the equipment must provide an individual. This will include
the training a required documentation required. If a terminal is going to
perform this onsite, please contact the Safe Work Practice Safety Specialist
to ensure proper documentation is recorded.

Important Understandings

• Check the condition of the ladder before use


• Use only on stable and level surfaces.
• Do not use on slippery surfaces unless adequately secured.
• Keep the area around the base and top of the ladder clear.
• Use the ladder only for the purpose it was designed and intended for.
• Do not use the top of the ladder as a step.
• Do not move, shift, or extend a ladder while it is occupied.
• Do not carry onto a ladder any object or load which may cause you to lose
your balance (tools or equipment to be taken up may be roped up once up
the ladder)
• For non self supporting ladders ensure:
• The top of the ladder extends 3 ft. past the step off point.
• The ladder must be secured against movement while in use.
• While in use a second person should ‘foot’ the ladder and it should be
tied off at the top.

Before Performing a Work at Height Job,
Check the Following

• Is there an alternative to Working at


Height? Prior to each and every
step – assess, analyze
• Do the workers have the proper
training? and act!

• Is the equipment in safe working


order?

• Is the rescue plan adequate to


prevent secondary injury?

• Is the area below properly


barricaded to prevent injury below?

Planning the Task at Hand

• Know the hazards and dangers of the job to be


done.

• Plan your work activities. Remember to refer to


the Preventing Serious Injury and Fatalities
Field Guide when planning work.

• Use LPSA and JLAs. What’s the worst thing that


can happen? Mitigate or eliminate as many
hazards as possible before starting work.

Questions? Contact your local HES


Specialist (TESH/RESH) or Safety Specialist.
