| 摘要： | Workshops across the bus and truck sectors are seeing a greater need to work at height on vehicles as double-deck trailers make inroads into the freight sector, and buses and coaches have increasing amounts of roof-mounted equipment ranging from air con units to gas tanks and traction batteries.And height is, of course, relative. Installing an inspection pit means that the surrounding floor is 'at height' compared to the bottom of the pit, and similarprecautions must be taken.The advice from the Health and Safety Executive is well worth heeding, if for no other reason than this is the organisation that is likely to be at the forefront of any investigation into a serious incident in the workplace. Its advice is based on the Work at Height Regulations 2005. This says that work at height must be properly planned, supervised and carried out by competent people, and employers and those in control must first assess the risk. HSE suggests that working at height should be avoided if possible, but if it cannot be avoided, the proper equipment must be provided. Low-risk and straightforward tasks will require less in the way of planning, but basic precautions still need to be observed. |
