Safety Harnesses and Lanyards Policy

Statement of Intent

We have a duty to ensure the safety of our employees when using safety harnesses and lanyard equipment for working at height.

Systems

We will do this by implementing the following systems.

• Nominating senior staff members to identify when the use of safety harnesses and lanyards is an appropriate measure to control the hazard of working at height.

• Nominating senior staff members to manage the risks involved in the use, storage, cleaning and inspection and examination of safety harnesses and lanyards.

• Assessing the risk to employees and others from the use of safety harnesses and lanyards.

• Developing and implementing control measures, procedures and safe systems of work.
