Dismantling Safety Systems

Safety systems such as static lines, falls arrest harness and safety nets should be dismantled according to the correct sequence and procedures.

They should then be removed from the work area.

If they are no longer necessary, risk/hazard control measures such as barriers and signs should be removed, cleaned, and stored away.

Make sure this equipment is dismantled according to manufacturers’ specifications.

Continue to work safely at heights while equipment is dismantled. Work methodically and follow site procedures, using safety equipment at all times.

During the disassembly process you need to maintain the stability of all structures and plant.

Unplanned collapse can result in serious injuries to personnel and damage to equipment and materials.
