Australia Model Code of Practice: Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplaces 3.4b: 3.4 Minimise remaining fall risk through the ordered controls (r 79)

If working on the ground or a solid construction is not reasonably practicable, the PCBU must minimise the risk by providing adequate protection, that is, providing and maintaining a safe system of work that uses a fall prevention device where reasonably practicable; if not, a work positioning system; and if neither is reasonably practicable, a fall arrest system so far as is reasonably practicable (WHS Regulations r 79). Any risk that remains after these must be minimised so far as is reasonably practicable with administrative controls. Administrative controls may support other controls but may be relied on alone only when no higher control is reasonably practicable.
