Working at heights requires taking precautions to anticipate risks and ensure conditions are safe. Any work done in unsafe conditions should not be attempted until properly protected. A place is considered a height if a fall could cause injury, even at or below ground level. General safety principles include avoiding work at heights when possible, preventing falls by using existing safe access, and minimizing risk by selecting suitable equipment and keeping a safe distance.
