Hi All,

Looking for some working at height advice. I'm currently on a project where personnel are required to carry out high level inspections on electrical equipment off a gantry walkway via a A-Frame or podium ladder. The risk is that once the operative is up on the ladder they are above the handrail on the gantry.

The following has being suggested but I have my concerns on this:

- Ladder to be footed at all times

- Fall protection via a harness or sling with 100% tie off to anchorage point (note there is no designated anchorage point, handrail or other sufficient achorage points have being proposed)

- Rescue plan in place

Ideally I would like scaffold tubing in place as an anchorage point and not have operatives using different anchorage points. Has anyone came across a similar situation to this??
