Fall 2009 Safety Blitz targets Fall Hazards

[adigianni]

During a November blitz, Ontario health and safety inspectors will concentrate on transportation, education, industrial services, retail and wholesale workplaces.

Inspectors will look for fall-from-height hazards involving platforms, raised floors, mezzanines and ladders. They will check fall-arrest equipment and guardrails and will be on the lookout for dangerous practices such as working on storage racks. They will also check for proper use of ladders.

Review the Ontario Ministry of Labour website for more information.

According to you. (See attachments)
Do you think that we need PPE and do we need to be certified to operate a scissor lift. According to my knowlege, The drive-thru racking system consists of approximately 45 rows X 3 deep X 211" high. We have to cut the ends of each upright and also cut the 2 load rails for each row and we are only 2 people to put it together with occasional help.
