Working at Heights risks in Blanchardstown Aviation and Aerospace
A Shannon or Limerick MRO crew accessing a tail surface from a maintenance dock, where falls and aircraft damage are both in scope. In a Blanchardstown setting, the most common ways Aviation and Aerospace workers are hurt at height include:
