Australia Model Code of Practice: Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplaces 3.3: 3.3 Assess fall risks against the listed factors, and keep generic assessments current

Where an assessment is used, consider what could happen and how likely; the design and layout of elevated work areas and the potential fall distance; the number and movement of people; how close workers are to unsafe areas such as loading docks and to work overhead with a risk of falling objects; inspection and maintenance of plant such as scaffolds; lighting; weather (rain, wind, heat, cold); footwear and clothing; the suitability and condition of ladders; workers' knowledge and training, especially young, new or inexperienced workers; emergency procedures including first aid, ambulance calls and communication; and whether emergency procedures have been tested. A known risk with established controls need not be formally assessed. A single generic assessment may cover several areas or workplaces with the same fall hazards, but it must be reviewed where a person may be exposed to greater, additional or different risks at a particular location.
