Working At Height Risk Assessment documents are essential tools required under South African health and safety legislation for any work performed at height where a person could fall and be injured. This document is mandated by the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Construction Regulations 2014, requiring completion before any work at height can commence. The assessment must be conducted by a competent person and includes comprehensive evaluation of hazards, risk levels, control measures, emergency procedures, and specific requirements for fall protection systems. It serves as a critical planning and safety management tool, helping organizations prevent falls from height - one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities in South Africa. The document must be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changing conditions or work methods.
