When is a Working at Heights Permit Required?

Working at Heights Permit

Working at height ‘typically’ means working in any place where a person could be injured falling from an elevated level. A work at heights permit is required whenever there is a need to ensure that work is carried out safely and to prevent unauthorised access to areas where work at height is taking place. The permit must be displayed in a prominent location at the work site.

Before work at height activities that require a permit commence, some key elements to consider include:

  • Is there another way to conduct the task to reduce risks to as low as reasonably practicable, specifically by protecting personnel from hazards involved with the works and avoiding permitted works wherever possible?
  • What hazards are present with the task to be undertaken?
  • What training and competencies are required for the work at height task to be completed safely?
  • What controls (e.g. catch platform, fall prevention, fall arrest system etc) need to be implemented to prevent persons from being injured from the works.
  • Who needs to supervise the work to manage the risks and complete the task safely?
  • If outdoor works, what will be the weather conditions?
  • What other procedures need to be reviewed in line with the task to be completed?
  • What isolation process, specific to the type of work is required?
  • Does the area need to be demarcated? And if so, how?
  • Is a formal risk assessment for the work at height required and what controls are required?
