More on staying safe at height
The cheapest control is always to avoid the work at height in the first place. For work at height in Dungarvan, that can mean long-handled tools, lowering the task to ground level, or designing the job so no one needs to climb. Where that is impossible, collective protection such as guardrails and platforms beats personal protection every time.
