Working from heights is an essential part of many jobs and projects, but it also comes with inherent risks. Falls from heights can result in severe injuries or even fatalities if proper safety precautions are not taken. To ensure a safe working environment when working at heights, it's crucial to follow a set of guidelines and practices such as regular workforce training, adherence to guidelines, using harnesses, and setting ladders and scaffolding up properly. It's also critical to have an effective nurse call and evacuation system in place so if there is an accident, workers can quickly notify emergency response personnel, who can coordinate first aid and - if necessary - a site evacuation or lockdown.

Total Worker Health (TWH) is an innovative and holistic approach for workplaces to use to understand and deploy strategies that recognise the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and social well-being in the workplace. In today's fast-paced and competitive world, the well-being of employees is more crucial than ever. Companies that prioritise the health and safety of their workforce not only cultivate a more satisfied and productive workforce but also enjoy long-term success. TWH should be considered essential for both employers and employees.
