Once you have finished the work at heights, you need to check your work instructions

It is only once the work has been finished that you can begin dismantling any safety systems
and begin to clean up the work area.

to health and safety that the control measure may not effectively control

 A new relevant hazard or risk is identified

DISMANTLING SAFETY SYSTEMS

Once you have established that you no longer require the safety systems for future work,
you can begin to dismantle them. When dismantling a safety system, you must ensure you
follow manufacturer’s instructions, workplace policies and procedures and consult with
authorized person.

This will help ensure that no damage is done to the safety system and that it is
dismantled safely and efficiently. During the removal of safety systems make sure you are
never in a position where you could fall from an unprotected edge.

Perimeter guardrails should be configured, installed, used and dismantled by a
competent person in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
