Tips for preventing similar accidents
|
1. |
Use appropriate machines and equipment, such as aerial work platforms and scaffolding. |
2. |
Do not work on top of loads or pallets.
If work must be performed on a pallet, ensure that machinery in a location where it is not at risk of tumbling over, install handrails or a frame of an adequate height around the pallet, and ensure all necessary measures are taken, such as securing the pallet to the forks, and ensuring that the worker uses a safety belt.
