3. *Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)*: Use PPE such as harnesses, lanyards, and safety nets to prevent falls.
4. *Scaffolding and Ladders*: Ensure that scaffolding and ladders are properly erected and maintained.
5. *Guardrails and Barriers*: Install guardrails and barriers to prevent falls from edges.
6. *Supervision*: Ensure that workers are properly supervised at all times when working at height.
7. *Emergency Procedures*: Establish emergency procedures in case of a fall or other incident.
8. *Regular Inspections*: Regularly inspect equipment and work areas to ensure that they are safe and secure.
